چکیده:
John Schellenberg, a Canadian-born philosopher, seriously proposed the 'Divine Hiddenness Argument' for the first time in 1993. The essence of Schellenberg's argument in this atheistic reasoning is that God has not provided sufficient evidence of His existence, at least to some humans at certain times, and therefore God remains hidden. Based on this argument, which is grounded in the description of God as an absolutely loving being, Schellenberg believes that if God were an absolutely loving being, He would provide sufficient evidence of His existence to the humans He created and loves, and would not remain hidden. However, since God has not provided sufficient evidence of His existence, He is not loving, and disbelief in His existence is rational and blameless. Schellenberg believes that the 'hiddenness argument' justifies atheism, and based on this argument, he denies the existence of God. Paul Moser, a contemporary American philosopher with a new approach to the epistemology of religion, rejects Schellenberg's view. He rejects the reasons for God's non-obviousness and believes that there are sufficient reasons for God's existence. However, in Moser's view, these reasons differ greatly from what humans naturally expect. Based on voluntaristic knowledge, he considers God Himself, rather than humans, to be the true determinant of the reference for the type of evidence and its evaluation. In this way, Moser does not consider the hiddenness argument, which is formulated based on human authority, to be successful in justifying God's hiddenness and consequently denying His existence.
خلاصه ماشینی:
The essence of his argument in this atheistic reasoning is that God has not provided sufficient evidence of His existence, at least to the choice of some humans at certain times, and therefore God is hidden.
Based on this argument, which is founded on the attribute of God's absolute love, Schellenberg believes that if God were absolutely loving, He would have placed sufficient evidence of His existence within the reach of the humans He created and who are His beloved, and He would not remain hidden.
Schellenberg believes that the "hiddenness argument" justifies atheism, and based on this argument, he denies the existence of God. Paul Moser, a contemporary American philosopher, rejects Schellenberg's view through a new approach to religious epistemology.

In the following statements, Moser refers to the argument from hiddenness, the contents of which we briefly provide below: How does an absolutely loving God, whose apparent goal is relationship with people, not manifest in such a way that all reasonable human doubts about His existence are eliminated?
Therefore, Schellenberg is mistaken in his conception of divine love (on the basis of which non-blameworthy unbelief would never occur); the amount of minimum evidence he describes is sufficient for all humans to believe that God exists.
6. Blameworthiness of Unbelief "Cognitive idolatry" and "volitional alignment" show that human deficiency prevents belief in God. However, this amount is not sufficient to challenge Schellenberg's argument.
