Plantinga' evolutionary argument against naturalism

The paper deals with Plantinga' so called evolutionary argument against naturalism (EAAN), which provoked much discussion in the recent epistemological literature. I tried to show that his argument failed in defeating naturalism on the basis on his theistic evolutionism. Main reasons for this failure are Plantinga' ambigous usage of the concept of epistemic defeater (rebutting or undermining?) and his untenable starting-point that, given naturalism-evolutionism, the probability that our cognitive faculties are reliable is very low .
