I have seen this term thrown around by many theists who have visited these boards. And all I hear is a bunch of whiney-ass pleas about why it is not accepted here. Well...
1) the theory of knowledge, especially with regard to its methods, validity, and scope
- Knowledge is fine as long as it has followed and passed the Scientific Method.
- Method only if it is the Scientific one.
- Validity only if it is testable and capable of being falsified.
- Scope only as long as it is reality.
2) the investigation of what distinguishes justified belief from opinion.
- Justified Belief — is nothing more than a fancy term for faith. It attempts to understand the justification of propositions and beliefs. In other words a fanciful synonym for Religious Apologetics.
- Opinion a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge. Everyone has one.
Only definition 1 would be acceptable with the listed stipulations.

P.S. — OK. JoC and Calhais, have at it... Y'all are the only ones here with a lot to say...
