Skeptical theism and empirical unfalsifiability

Abstract

Arguments strong enough to justify skeptical theism will be strong enough to justify the position that every claim about God is empirically unfalsifi able. This fact is problematic because that position licenses further arguments which are clearly unreasonable, but which the skeptical theist cannot consistently accept as such. Avoiding this result while still achieving the theoretical objectives looked for in skeptical theism appears to demand an impossibly nuanced position.
