Strong and Weak Arguments
#21
RE: Strong and Weak Arguments
I find intelligent design arguments to be the most intuitively compelling. They also happen to be some of the most shoddily constructed arguments. You need a bridging principle to get from "It looks designed," to "therefore it is designed," and I've yet to see anyone provide that bridge.

Weakest argument is the argument from personal experience. Having an unusual perception is not indicative of anything more than that human nature has quirks. "I know He exists because I've felt Him," belongs in the DSM-V, not a believer's justification.
