Is Christianity Illogical?

[spockrates]

It would be committing an informal fallacy to adopt the opinion of an amateure when it contradicts that of the vast majority of professional scholars. Such would be illogical.

I think I'm asking why others believe Christianity to be illogical and then asking why the reasons given are true.

And who in this thread had asserted that claim before you posted in it?

Scientists don't have any faith in the scientific method?

My question was about your strawman OP, which has nothing at all to do with scientists. Non Sequitur.


You are equivocating the word "faith". To be specific, "faith" is belief without evidence. This is the antithesis of the scientific approach, which doubts and attempts to disprove any hypothesis it generates and comes away with confirmed confidence through examination of evidence, as distinguished from your utterly blind, unreasoning "faith". Having been publicly alertrd to this now, you would only be demonstrating your intellectual dishonesty by continuing on this tack.

I believe the straw man fallacy is one where the argument of another is misrepresented and the misrepresentation is then refuted. Whose logical argument did I misrepresent in the OP? I was unaware I was citing any argument in the fist post.

Whose argument indeed? Thus the straw man.

Yes, I would be committing the informal fallacy of equivocation if I was using the word faith in two different senses in these two statements:

Scientists have faith in the scientific method.

Christians have faith in Christ.

I can see how you'd draw that conclusion, but the truth is that in both statements, I'm intending the word faith to simply mean trust. Therefore, there is no equivocation.

Regarding committing a straw man fallacy, it sounds as though you misunderstand what it is.
