- The argument that belief in God is an innate inclination and conception of reality that is not derived from the natural world:
- P1) If meaning can only be derived from the natural world, then all conceptions of reality are derived from the natural world.
- P2) If all conceptions of reality are derived from the natural world, then they must be a coherence of meaningful experiences.
- P3) People believe that there is a meaningful transcendent reality (i.e. God) that shares no properties with the natural world.
- P4) If P1 and P2, then P3 is a conception of reality derived from the natural world, the content of which is a coherence of meaningful experiences.
- P5) No number of meaningful experiences can direct one to consider the possibility of something meaningful beyond said experiences.
- P6) Therefore, P3 is not a conception of reality derived from the natural world.
