Abstract

Elaborating on the work of Alvin Plantinga and the concept of noetic structures, I argue that the concept of a rational belief is flexible enough to tolerate a certain degree of uncertainty and inability to answer criticism of the belief. This flexibility, moreover, is an essential component in the concept of a rational faith in God.
