Re: Begging the Question?

Description:
The "question" in begging the question is indeed a question. Anything that isn't proven true can be a "question" according to this fallacy. Therefore: You can't use "common ancestry" *at all* in an explanation for how the fusion is evidence for common ancestry. I really hope that makes sense.

It says: "What I want to say is that this probability does not mean that you have actually/really taken it out of the white cup."
Fallacy of intelligent design-circular reasoning.
Sorry for the hiatus-occupied as hell. Here's likely my last video on this stuff. Most "evidence" for ID commits a false dichotomy and/or argument from ignorance as it presents "negative evidence." This video shows why intelligent design is inherently circular reasoning whenever it tries to follow the scientific method or tries to find "positive evidence" for design, or claims to be doing "research" by studying "specified complexity" in living systems. By the end, hopefully, you'll see why it's illogical for ID to do "research" when looking for these "characteristics of intelligence", by concluding a non-life intelligence. Music-Room of Angel, from the Silent Hill 4-The Room soundtrack (it's a video game). Piano version and the one performed by Mary Elizabeth McGlynn. *Disclaimer* Once again, this is not an attack on religion per se. It's a defence for science and logic. Oh, and please don't retort by claiming how "science commits circular reasoning too," then proceed to state how science claims "such and such", which is circular reasoning. Before you do that, look at the circular argument you're claiming that science makes. Now, try to find a reputed scientific source that actually makes that argument in question. You know, just to make sure people aren't bullshitting stuff and putting it in the mouth of science. And no, some dubious creationist website you likely read this off of is not a good enough source to be voicing what science is arguing. Until you do, please do yourself a favour and stop reading random, non-verifiable junk you find online and get a real education. ***FOOTNOTES*** Not enough space here.

Refuting Theist Arguments - Begging the Question
Refuting Theist Arguments -- Begging the Question One common argument used by many fundamentalist theists to try to prove the existence of their deity, or to try to prove that their holy book is the word of their deity, is a fallacy known as begging the question. Begging the question is a logical fallacy in which the conclusion is assumed in one of the premises. For example, a Christian might say: "It says in the Bible that God exists. Since the Bible is God's word, and God never speaks falsely, then everything in the Bible must be true. So, God must exist." The problem with this argument is obvious to those of us who are familiar with basic principles of logic. The conclusion is that god exists, but to arrive at that conclusion the Christian already assumed that the bible is the word of god (i.e. assumed that god exists). Clearly this is a circular line of reasoning. Some reasons why many theists do not see the flaws in their reasoning are: -They have been indoctrinated into only believing their religion (i.e. they are blinded by their absolute conviction in their religion) -They are arguing from emotion and desire rather than an objective, logical position -They have been taught to believe in the word of their holy texts over logic, science, and reason (i.e. they have been brainwashed into thinking that logic cannot be trusted) To theists who try to prove the existence of their deity using their holy texts, or who try to prove that their holy texts are the word of their deity because the texts say so, now you know why your logic is fallacious and circular.

HE'S FIVE! Huge difference, any parent will agree. Now enjoy or go away... Seriously, calling a little boy a "bastard" or "retarded"?, GET A LIFE PEOPLE... keep the negative remarks to yourself.
