What are the conclusion and immediate reasons of this argument?

Question

After an entire semester of Logic class, I'm rather embarrassed to admit that I'm still quite confused about simplifying these complex arguments. I have a hopeless tendency to overanalyze, it seems. Please help?? My final is tomorrow, and I'm still an idiot.

I truly appreciate the encouragement, opinions about the logical process, and/or religious diatribes, but if anyone can give me some actual help with my actual question I would be very much obliged. If you can look at this argument and tell me what the immediate reasons and the conclusion are, that would be GREAT. My Logic final is in a matter of hours and I would really appreciate some CLARIFICATION.

Thank you all very much. I do appreciate your willingness to at least answer my question.

Even you, random argument-agreer-wither-bible-verse-quoter dude.

Answer 1

Ah, I have a mind like that too. Nah, they tell us we're dumb cos they just can't fathom our minds, I had to listen to idiots calling me dumb for a long time but then I went to college and I passed some things top of class and I passed everything with a high mark.

Imagination, Elizabeth, it is our key; simply imagine doing well. Paraphrase of Einstein.

With kind regards

Answer 2

The only absolute truth is the word of God as told by his chosen writers through his inspired book the Bible.
66 books, written over 1500 years, and it is 100% harmonious. They had no telephones, no internet, no newspapers, no television, no satellites, and yet the prophecies of this God given book are happening today exactly as they were told of by the writers who were divinely inspired by Jehovah God.

Read 2Timothy:1-5 and Matthew 24:3-14 for instance and tell me I'm wrong.
Absolute truth exists. It's just that mankind's minds are too arrogant to admit it. It's one of those things that is beyond most people's way of thnking because it much easier believing in the lies of this system of things, because the world is in Satan's power, not God's as many think.
1John5:19; We know we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the [power of the] wicked one.(The wicked one is the Devil of course)
So, logically, the only absolute truth can exist with Him that is perfect. Jehovah God.

God Bless and thanks for reading.

Answer 3

Well, it's quite simple I think. The reasoning just says that anybody who claims that there's no absolute truth, himself makes claims to an absolute truth, namely that there is no absolute truth. The sentence "there's no absolute truth" therefore never can be true, because it contradicts itself.
Internal paradoxes like this (the most famous being Plato's liars' paradox) triggered a lot of the language-philosophy of the 20th century (starting with Russel's criticisms of Frege), one of the resolutions to it is Tarski's use of 'metalanguage'. But that actually isn't an answer anymore to your question anymore.

So, when one claims that there's no absolute truth, this has to be a claim to an absolute truth itself (or so the argument goes), so this statement can never be true. When one says truth is relative, that itself is a claim to truth, so the sentence goes against it's own premises. The conclusion is that you cannot logically argue against the existence of absolute truths. From this doesn't follow that absolute truths necesarrily exist, only that one can't argue against them without claiming to tell an absolute truth - and so to contradict oneself. (Personally I think the biggest problem here is a sloppy definition of what's meant with '(absolute) truth', but that's just my opinion.)

Answer 4

no need to ponder on such things..
just analyze it...besides...education is a not a matter of grade..its what you know...and i hope you've learned at least a little about that subject...at least you've got something from that stuff..right???
and try to ask your professor's help with that matter...tell him what you feel over that subject..
logic will make you feel idiot really..but its not the mattter..logic is just trying to overcomplicate things...so think positive..read again the arguments you're talking about and you'll find out how "easy" it is to understand.."easy" because its just the arrangement of words that confuses us..right??do read it many times..goodluck..you can do it,,i know..there's no such an idiot person

Answer 5

well i didnt even get pass the second sentence because its full errors. tell your instructor you rather not even lend validity to a falacious argument by writing about it and let the chips fall where they may.
