Conscience and the Moral Argument as Evidence for the Goodness of God.

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Lol, I love Atheists. Sherlock Holmes (albeit fictional) is literally like the most famous deductive reasoner of all time, being after all an investigative detective. How does one be a Detective without Deductive Reasoning? Deductive reasoning is the process of forming premises (based e.g. on data) and then building a conclusion from those premises; both detectives and those interested in the question of whether God exists or not definitely have to make use of it. I'll start a thread on Design Detection subsequently, and how detectives and others use it, and why Intelligent Design, especially after the scientific discovery of DNA and the Genetic Code (ref. Stephen Meyer's Signature in the Cell), and Fine-Tuning, is based on a sound premise. 

(Snipped the bits I’m not replying to.)

As explained earlier, Holmes was not a deductive reasoner, but an abductive one. He was originally described that way in the mini-biographies Watson wrote, but Arthur Conan Doyle (Watson’s literary agent) convinced him to substitute ‘deductive’ as a term that would be more familiar to his readers.
