132. Deism and Rationalism

Historical Jesus

Deism is a form of theism in which God created the universe and established rationally comprehensible moral and natural laws but no longer intervenes in human affairs. Deism is a natural religion where belief in God is based on application of reason and evidence observed in the designs and laws found in nature. Deists present deist apologetics that demonstrate the existence of God based on evidence and reason, absent divine revelation. Rationalism is a belief or theory that opinions and actions should be based on reason and knowledge rather than on religious belief or emotional response. In Philosophy it's the theory that reason rather than experience is the foundation of certainty in knowledge. In Theology it's the practice of treating reason as the ultimate authority in religion.
