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.
What else can I help you with?
Are all valid arguments cogent arguments?
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.
All valid arguments are sound arguments?
No, but all sound arguments are valid arguments. A valid argument is one where the conclusion follows from the premises. A sound argument is a valid argument where the premises are accepted as true.
Does any body know what are the strengths and weaknesses of the pragmatic argument?
All sound arguments are valid, but not all valid arguments are sound.
Why do retard liberal crybabies consider Wikipedia and the NY Times valid research tools to support their baseless arguments?
perhaps the same reason conservative crybabies use fox news and the NY Post as valid research tools to support their baseless arguements?
Why is it important to consider not ridiculous arguments when discussing important topics?
It is important to consider valid arguments when discussing important topics because they provide logical reasoning and evidence to support a position. Ridiculous arguments can distract from the main issue and hinder productive discussion and decision-making.
Is it true that valid arguments are said to be strong or weak?
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.
Are some fallacious inductive arguments 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.
What tips or keys raise suspicion about validity of arguments. cite specific examples.?
Lack of evidence or data to support claims: Arguments that make bold statements without providing any evidence or research to back them up should be viewed with suspicion. Logical fallacies: Look out for common fallacies such as ad hominem attacks, appeal to emotion, or straw man arguments, as they can weaken the credibility of an argument. Biased sources: Arguments that heavily rely on biased or unreliable sources may not be valid. Check the credibility of the sources cited to assess the strength of the argument.
What term refers to basing arguments on logical reasoning?
The term that refers to basing arguments on logical reasoning is "logical argumentation." This approach involves constructing arguments that follow a coherent structure, utilizing premises that lead to a valid conclusion. Logical reasoning often employs formal logic, critical thinking, and evidence to support claims, ensuring that the argument is sound and persuasive.
Evidence proving valid and sound argument is important?
Valid and sound arguments are essential for logical reasoning and critical thinking. Validity ensures the logical structure of an argument is consistent, while soundness additionally requires that the premises are true. Evidence helps establish the truth of premises, increasing the credibility and strength of an argument. Without evidence, arguments may lack support and fail to persuade others.
Is a valid argument strong or weak?
Valid arguments must include facts and supporting documentation in order to strengthen the validity. If not, then the argument can be challenged.
What is the difference between a valid fact and a valid argument?
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).
