Logical possibility

While it is completely logical for those in society to think of convicts in a negative light it doesn’t mean that they do not have the potential to make something better of themselves. If state governments were able to use alternative such as work camps it would give these criminals…

God by Thomas B. Warren, the reader is introduced to an atheist argument that has been widely used for numerous years and it’s logical implications. In addition to the impressive atheist argument of evil, the author makes his case for theism and why the idea of God is not illogical because of the great amounts of evil in the world. This is done by means of strict logical fashion, which is the use of propositions that come to a conclusion that must be logically sound. In the first chapter, the…

but the human race does not have a mother because that is a “different logical sphere”. Russell disagrees with the assumption that the universe must be contingent based on the idea that if each being has property then the universe they inhabit must also have that same property. He feels that it is possible that the universe itself is an independent being, and that the question of brought the universe into existence makes no logical sense. Russel feels that “cause” does not apply to the universe,…

the residue style of reasoning. The residue style of reasoning involves removing what is not logical first in an argument. Males actually starts using this at the beginning of his argument by stating the claim of the opposition and breaking it down throughout the article, while further explaining the side he supports throughout the rest of the argument. For example, Males started with, “doesn’t it seem logical that a curfew requiring police to remove an entire group of people from public spaces…

many are still researching the cause of Edgar Allan Poe’s death. With reasonings such as rabies and alcohol, researchers are still unsure if they have found the main cause that led to Poe’s eerie death. Both causes seem suitable, but rabies is more logical. We believe Poe died from rabies because he showed a multitude of the common symptoms, strongly disliked alcohol, and lacked evidence of a bite or scratch. When Poe first checked into Washington College Hospital, he was stupor. However, he…

In deducing the mere logical possibility of a God, it is important that one first delves into exactly what characteristics this being is said to have; mainly what is it this being can and cannot do. Religions touting a singular entity, God, to be their creation of the world, hold several interesting beliefs with regard to the characteristics of such a being; God is Omnipotent, omniscient, and is morally perfect. Religions holding a singular God to be responsible for creation, have a similar…

my best friend was one of the smartest kids in the school. I, however, was the more creative one and was always in my head. I was almost always lost in my imagination. But my best friend was the exact opposite, he was down to earth and a much more logical person. As time went on, he began to tell me what he learned in the advanced classes and it interested me. Then in fourth grade my family and I moved to Illinois. I was in a new place, a new school, and had lots of new opportunities. Near the…

When we apply the theory of argumentum absurdum to both Hume and Aristotle’s argument, the equation would yield the same results. Since humans are capable of infallibility, and humans write about miracles, then miracles cannot be proven to exist, therefore, God cannot exist if his existence is reliant upon the miracles. Therefore, the existence of God cannot be logically proven under Hume’s claim, since we cannot see God, we cannot prove miracles exist, and God cannot exist where man is…

Graffiti has been a topic of debate for decades. Is it art, or is it a crime? However, it is not one or the other, says Eric Felisbert, in his article, “Legal Venues Celebrate Graffiti as an Art Form,” from the New York Times, “from the perspective of a graffiti writer, the debate about whether graffiti is art or crime is pointless because, ideally, it is both.” Although it’s artistic merits can't be denied, graffiti is still in fact a form of vandalism. Graffiti is not a crime - trespass and…

cemented picture in their head. Religion is a very debatable topic that has been discussed for thousands of years. The two main aspects of how the universe started in the first place are creation and evolution. Research and past studies have showed logical reasoning for both beliefs which is why this topic is so debatable and has been for many years. I believe in creation because of the Miller Urey Experiment, Thermodynamics, and the Bible. The Miller Urey experiment was done by two men named…
