In some cases, you are told to assume you have some relevant knowledge.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Your car won\u2019t start. And when a car won\u2019t start, it\u2019s because it\u2019s out of gas. So your car\u2019s out of gas. (Assume you know it won\u2019t start.)<\/li>\n<li>If your car is out of gas, then it won\u2019t start. It won\u2019t start. Obviously, it\u2019s out of gas. (Assume you know it won\u2019t start.)<\/li>\n<li>If your car is out of gas, then it won\u2019t start. It is out of gas. Obviously, it won\u2019t start. (Assume you know it is out of gas.)<\/li>\n<li>If on 9-11 the World Trade Center buildings were brought down by a controlled demolition secretly ordered by the Bush Administration, then the buildings would have collapsed straight down, falling into their own \u201cfootprint\u201d. That\u2019s how they fell. So, the buildings were brought down by a controlled demolition secretly ordered by the Bush Administration.<\/li>\n<li>Either there is intelligent life somewhere in the universe, or we are the only intelligent life anywhere. But if we are the only intelligent life anywhere in this mind-numbingly vast universe, then when life occurred here, it was just as mind-numbingly improbable\u2013a random fluke. But life cannot be mind-numbingly improbable. That\u2019s why I think there must be intelligent life elsewhere.<\/li>\n<li>The problem with the belief in extraterrestrial intelligence was best expressed by Enrico Fermi when he said, \u201cWhere is everyone?\u201d By now we should have received some signals from somewhere. But we haven\u2019t.<\/li>\n<li>If the thief entered through the window, then there should be marks on the window pane and dirt from the garden on the rug. We found both marks on the pane and dirt on the rug, so it\u2019s pretty clear that\u2019s how the thief got in. (Assume you can see the marks and the dirt.)<\/li>\n<li>We should get rid of the US electoral college. Either it\u2019s useless (when the elector\u2019s vote is simply redundant) or dangerous (when the elector\u2019s vote is not redundant). But if it\u2019s useless then we should get rid of it. If it\u2019s dangerous then we should get rid of it. So there you have it.<\/li>\n<li>Either every event is caused by some previous event in the universe, or at least one event is caused by something else. But there cannot be a chain of events going back forever, so not every event is caused by a previous event in the universe. Thus, at some point in our past, there must be some unique event\u00a0<em>outside<\/em>\u00a0of the universe which got everything going\u2013a supernatural event. And that\u2019s why I believe in God.<\/li>\n<li>Even this killer does not deserve punishment for doing things he could not have possibly avoided doing. And because the killer\u2019s actions were ultimately the product of brain cells just following the laws of physics, he couldn\u2019t possibly have avoided committing those actions. Thus the killer doesn\u2019t deserve to be punished.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"section section-post-footer\">\n<div class=\"section_wrapper clearfix\">\n<div class=\"column one post-pager\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"section section-post-intro-share\">\n<div class=\"section_wrapper clearfix\">\n<div class=\"column one\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/onlineclassesguru.com\/orders\/ordernow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com\/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTyj99p60XCLyLk1htB7-1neRt8-2QdnenNlQ&usqp=CAU\"target=\"_http:\/\/onlineclassesguru.com\/orders\/ordernow\"\/><\/center><p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Symbolize each argument, providing a key.
