Question about Plettinga’s argument against naturalism

שו”תCategory: philosophyQuestion about Plettinga’s argument against naturalism
asked 4 years ago

Hello, I am currently reading your book “The Science of Freedom”, and I am currently referring to the Plettinga training.
You claim that evolution ensures that we have the best means to survive, and you claim that the belief behind the act is not important (you run away because the tiger is scary or you play catch).
Do you happen to know of an example in nature where there is some animal that perceives reality differently than we do, and the goal of this is its survival?

Who can know what an animal’s motives are? And has anyone asked it? I also don’t understand why it matters whether you know them or not.
