| May 13, 2021 at 2:02 | comment | added | armand | You are confusing an argument for believing in God and a reason to believe in God. We understand the reason why the Baptist believes in God, but this has no convincing power (and therefore is not a very good reason). Compare with, "I believe in Santa because my parents told me he exists". Surely, I can be convinced a toddler actually believes in Santa and understand why, but that won't convince me to believe in Santa. | |

| May 12, 2021 at 21:06 | comment | added | Logikal | You are likely confusing types of arguments. There are primarily two kinds taught at this stage: deductive arguments & inductive arguments. Your idea to add a premise may work as an inductive argument at best because the conclusion would not be certain. Deductive arguments must have an absolute or certain conclusion if the premises are true. You would need to know some rules & procedures also for deductive arguments. The premises cannot be just out of the blue. They must have a strong relationship & because the relationship is strong the conclusion is guaranteed. This is not deductive. | |
