This distinguished professor offers evidence of God's existence.Heads up, logicians, and fallacyophites,
There's a promising debate just beginning on Dr. Richard Carrier's website about the existence of God. I'll let you hunt it down and follow it up on your own. https://www.richardcarrier.info/archives/15158<> In the opening preface this syllogism is claimed: If the universe began to exist, the universe has a cause. The universe began to exist. Therefore, the universe has a cause. The cause of the universe is most plausibly God. I can name a number of fallacies in this. Can you? |

Claims are constantly being made, many of which are confusing, ambiguous, too general to be of value, exaggerated, unfalsifiable, and suggest a dichotomy when no such dichotomy exists. Good critical thinking requires a thorough understanding of the claim before attempting to determine its veracity. Good communication requires the ability to make clear, precise, explicit claims, or “strong” claims. The rules of reason in this book provide the framework for obtaining this understanding and ability.
This book / online course is about the the eleven rules of reason for making and evaluating claims. Each covered in detail in the book.
