Deism
0 events
Deism ( DEE-iz-əm or DAY-iz-əm; derived from the Latin term deus, meaning 'god') is the belief that a Supreme Being or God created the universe and that empirical reason and observation of the natural world are exclusively logical, reliable, and sufficient to determine the existence of a creator God. It is a philosophical position and rationalistic theology that rejects prophecies, revelations, and religious texts as legitimate or reliable sources of divine knowledge.
