However, shift tack to the evidential approach, and now the appeals to God's inscrutability fall apart, to such an extent that the case for God's existence is, in general, already over, as every excuse lumped in together with the God hypothesis drags its probability further and further downwards (see Lataster 2018).…”

It, at least, looks odd.…”
