| Is it pragmatically better to believe in God than not, insofar as theists, taken across all possible worlds, are on average better off than atheists? |
| Most agnostics are closer in beliefs to atheists than to theists. |
| Theists argue that God is a personal, loving God who shares and participates in our lives i.e. he shares in our joy and in our pain. |
| There are too many brilliant and clever scientists who know much more about science than I do who are theists, to say it can't be reconciled. |
| But theists are not usually willing to say, in all contexts, that all the evil that occurs is a minute and necessary dose. |
| There are theists in all of these categories, so they all allow for divine intervention of a kind. |
