The fighter is suitably impressed and pledges his loyalty to the stranger. As time goes on, the fighter sees the ‘leader’ helping out the resistance, but at other times he is apparently helping out the enemy. The fighter nevertheless carries on in his belief that the stranger is, in fact, the leader of the resistance movement'.** ### Difference: Mitchell & Hare ![Difference: Mitchell & Hare](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2020-06/855da14d-a6f1-4cc1-ba99-e9f8d31d0969/facts.jpg) - Hare’s **'lunatic'** has a) no reason for mistrusting dons and b) won't allow anything to count against his belief. - Mitchell’s fighter, however, is a) willing to admit that things count against his belief in the leader (a symbol of God) and b) grounds his belief in reason and fact: he trusts this man who claims to be the leader and has examples of him fighting for the resistance. ### Mitchell's criticism of Flew ![Mitchell's criticism of Flew](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-04/7908e65e-62e7-4427-94ae-e8e2c33be7e8/shutterstock_380083465.jpg) - Mitchell claimed that Flew missed the point that believers have a prior commitment to trust in God based on faith. For this reason, they do not allow evidence to undermine their faith. ### Mitchell's conclusions ![Mitchell's conclusions](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-08/83f61af0-24e5-4ca0-9d4c-35ab6d27653f/thuumbs-up-down-.jpg) - Mitchell’s point is that religious belief is based upon facts, but that belief cannot be verified/falsified in the simplistic way that the logical positivists demand. - Of course, the stranger in the story will be able to reveal his true allegiance after the war and explain his mysterious behaviour, in the same way that all the peculiar and problematic parts of religious belief will be revealed at the end of time according to traditional religious belief. ## Test yourself on Falsification Symposium: Mitchell - What analogy did Mitchell use to highlight his theory on falsification?
