Rhythm, I never made such an argument. This was the first argument.
a) From God
b) Found in it much contradictions by people.
If not from God (not A), then there would be contradictions found by the people (b).
There isn't found any contradictions (not B)
Therefore not not A
Therefore A (double negation) It is from God
This is the 2nd argument.
a) not from God
b) found in it much contradictions by people.
If not from God (a), then there would be found in much contradictions by people (b).
There isn't found much contradictions by people (not b)
Therefore it is from God (not a)
What I am using is known as modus tollens.
If you want a modus ponens version of the argument then it would go like this
If there is no contradictions found in the book, then it is from God
There is no contradictions found in the book.
Therefore it is from God.
That would be the logically equivalent in modus ponens. That would be a valid argument as well.
