Question

This is a world religions question:

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Scholars of religious studies can not participate in any religion.

Explanation:

• This question is important, and so is the answer, but it is not as difficult as one might think.

• In fact, we can begin by looking at how to recognize what is false because this can help us get rid of a host of theological systems that, well, just don’t work.

• There are two main ways to determine if something is not true: internal and external.

• By internal we mean if a belief is internally inconsistent, i.e., self-contradictory, then it cannot be true.

• By “external means” we mean that if a belief is contradicted by a fact, then the belief cannot be true.

• Therefore, if we were to find religions that fit either of these two criteria, we would know which religions cannot be true by simply applying logic and evidence to them.

• But finding out which ones are not true does not mean we have found one that is.
