Olomouc 2011 1 Statement I declare that I wrote this dissertation on my own and that I cited all used sources. Olomouc, ............................... Vlastimil Vohánka ............................... 2 Abstract (EN) The author defends the thesis that, apart from religious experience, it cannot be evident – in a defined sense of psychological impossibility – that the Trinity doctrine is logically possible. The Trinity doctrine is understood broadly, as the proposition that there is just one God but three persons each of which is God. It is concluded that, apart from religious experience, none of the following claims can be evident: the Trinity doctrine is true; Christianity is true; the Trinity doctrine is logically possible; Christianity is logically possible; the Trinity doctrine has some but not minimal (zero) logical probability with respect to all that is evident; Christianity has some but not minimal logical probability with respect to all that is evident. Christianity is understood as a particular compound proposition including the Trinity doctrine. Replies are provided to objections against the employed principles of logical probability. The author leaves as undecided whether the Trinity doctrine, Christianity, or their logical possibility are: epistemically justified; well-argued; plausibly logically probable with respect to all that is evident (though not evidently logically probable on such information apart from religious experience); or probable in other than the logical sense.

The day was very favourably received by the press, radio and television media with 83 per cent of total coverage promoting the positive aspects of the event. The majority of favourable coverage conveyed the key Harmony Day themes of "tolerance and equality for all" through announcements and reportage of events and celebrations. Positive coverage was widely spread around the states - with particular focus on the towns of Dubbo (NSW), Rockhampton (Qld) and the city of Adelaide. In terms of total volume, South Australia was the source of most coverage, followed by Queensland, New South Wales and Western Australia. Seventeen per cent of coverage focussed on negative issues. South Australian radio station 5AA was the source of the majority of unfavourable coverage: the result of adverse reactions by talk-back callers, some ethnic groups and the Opposition to comments made by South Australian MP, Christine Gallus.
