Professor's Proposition: Only Two Logical Choices

[System of Solace]

Read my edited post after I debunked that miracle.

Yes, it would seem that every atheist has that arrow in his quiver: that every argument from authority is a logical fallacy.

And yet, how many of us make important decisions based on authority?

Do any of you question your teachers who taught you history, mathematics, and biology? After all, the only reason you believe what you believe is because your teachers told you it was true.

And if you look in books to check up on your teachers to confirm what they say, aren't you relying on authority when you do that too?

When it comes down to it, how many of you actually do any independent research to determine that the Battle of Gettysburg was fought on such and such a date and that the South was defeated for all time at Pickett's Charge?

If you were truly freethinkers you wouldn't believe anything your teachers told you or anything you read in books. You would be suspicious of all information and declare that all truth is unknown and unknowable.

And yet, you don't do that.

This is full of misrepresentation. And why do you believe in those miracles? Somebody else told you they happened-you obviously weren't alive to witness them. So, you are apparently contradicting your own logic. Or, you're making shit up on the spot. Or both.
