Abstract

In this response article, I argue that Launonen's criticisms either are beyond the scope of my argument in chapter 5 of Arguing from Cognitive Science of Religion or wrongfully presume that evolutionary explanations exhaustively explain religious beliefs. I also criticize Launonen's claim that arguments in terms of divine design are preferable to arguments in terms of truth-tracking cognitive mechanisms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
