How can my questions have faulty logic, they are only questions?

Question

Do we tend to prejudge anything and everything that could remotely not be within our rhelm of how we see our little world of logic? Do we all suffer the fixation of thinking we have everything figured out?

What can we learn from studying our own belly buttons?

Answer 1

I find your questions very interesting. I don't have all the answers or everything figured out.

Answer 2

Logic is a good way to judge questions. If you or anyone has a primary question and/or statement and then the follow-up questions are not dependent on the conditional statements of the first then it is faulty logic to assume and answers is needed to explain the questions in regards to the context of the original.

in other words if you said All roses are flowers right? and then asked doesn't this mean that all flowers are roses? This is faulty logic because it is working off the following premise.
If A then B, Therefor If B then A that is faulty logic. The correct logic thought would be this

If A then B, If B Then possibly A

Answer 3

Anybody's questions can have faulty logic. Many questions that I read on YA! are so. They start off with incorrect assumptions. For example - "Since evolution is an established fact, isn't this a PROOF that creationists are really brainwashed?"

Other questions that REAL often have faulty logic are what's called "straw-man" questions. These are questions specifically designed to deflect actual disagreements or dialog of the real issues. (These are used BIG TIME in religion and politics.) Example - "Since the Bible clearly states that Jesus is the brother of Satan, why do people still deny it?"

I've read a few of your questions - Yes, they sometimes have faulty logic. Mostly, they seem to be attempting to avoid the issue of the conflict between what the Catholic church teaches, and what is in the Bible.

Answer 4

For some reason, cousin orangutan, christians seem to percieve logic as being tied to the bible.

If someone points out a floor in my logic, I'll happily accept it, as long as it's backed up with LOGIC and not some diatribe about "How do you explain the eye?"

It amazes me that they'll attack logical arguments, have the evidence against their argument shoved right in their face, and then ask "But where's your evidence" or boldly declare, "Ah, but my faith is more valid than your logic".

It makes you wonder how we ever got them out of the trees.

UncleWayne,

I'm enjoying the questions you are asking this morning!!

I know that some people want to pre-judge and say something is not logical, but that is because they are basing it on their own rules of logic (kind of like defining things based on their view of morality).

So, I encourage you to continue thinking outside the box. If we only followed set rules of logic, would we have the creativity and some of the inventions we have today.

Never apologize for thinking outside of groupthink!!

P.S. the spelling is actually "realm" not "rhelm" :)

Answer 6

It's easy for a question to have faulty logic.

If you assume things in your question - or make other statements that have no basis in reality, then you aren't actually asking a question (or at least you aren't actually asking for an answer - you just want people to reinforce what you already believe.

Perhaps an analysis of our lint will lead us to believe we don't know everything and possibly anything.♥
