An increasingly large percentage of modern scientists believe in an intelligent designer of the universe and life, and this is now an established one way trend. To understand why this interesting and relatively recent turn of events has occurred, see Intelligent Design vs. Evolution - The Miracle of Intelligent Design at the attached link.
A Different PerspectiveThere is no widespread acceptance of intelligent design aka creationism within the mainstream scientific community. For an interesting and comprehensive discussion of the pseudoscience used to support ID and the scientific counter-arguments see the decision in Kitzmiller v Dover at the link provided below.
No, not all valid arguments are cogent. A valid argument is one where the conclusion logically follows from the premises, while a cogent argument is a valid argument with true premises. In other words, cogent arguments are a subset of valid arguments.
This statement is not correct. A valid argument is one in which the conclusion logically follows from the premises, regardless of whether the premises are true or not. A sound argument, on the other hand, is a valid argument with true premises. So, while all sound arguments are valid, not all valid arguments are sound.
All sound arguments are valid, but not all valid arguments are sound.
perhaps the same reason conservative crybabies use fox news and the NY Post as valid research tools to support their baseless arguements?
Valid arguments are not described as strong or weak. Validity refers to the logical structure of an argument - if the premises logically lead to the conclusion. An argument can be valid but still weak if the premises are not well-supported or sound.
No, fallacious inductive arguments are not sound. Sound arguments must be valid and have true premises, but fallacious arguments contain errors in reasoning that make them unsound.
Valid arguments must include facts and supporting documentation in order to strengthen the validity. If not, then the argument can be challenged.
Facts cannot be valid. They can only be true or false. Arguments, on the other hand, can be valid. A valid argument in one which must have a true conclusion provided that the premises are true (no guarantee of that though).
Valid arguments are those where the conclusion logically follows from the premises. In other words, if the premises are true, then the conclusion must also be true. Valid arguments obey the rules of logic and reasoning.
ask wheter your arguments are valid and your premises are true.
When the conlusion are not valid.
No, arguments can either be strong or weak, however, a valid argument would be considered a sound argument. The opposite would be an invalid argument.
