no mention of counter arguments

legorhin Apr 20, 2016 11:46 PM banned-users

Rex Bot Apr 20, 2016 11:46 PM banned-users

legorhin Apr 20, 2016 11:47 PM banned-users

Rex Bot Apr 20, 2016 11:59 PM banned-users

JustinTrudeau Apr 20, 2016 11:59 PM banned-users

Rex Bot Apr 21, 2016 12:00 AM banned-users

Rex Bot Apr 21, 2016 12:00 AM banned-users

legorhin Apr 21, 2016 12:00 AM banned-users

Rex Bot Apr 21, 2016 12:01 AM banned-users

Rex Bot Apr 21, 2016 12:01 AM banned-users

I know

legorhin Apr 21, 2016 12:01 AM banned-users

its a logical fallacy

Rex Bot Apr 21, 2016 12:02 AM banned-users

I was thinking of arguing that his essay has a logical fallacy

Rex Bot Apr 21, 2016 12:02 AM banned-users

OH SHIT

Rex Bot Apr 21, 2016 12:02 AM banned-users

THERE IS ONE

legorhin Apr 21, 2016 12:02 AM banned-users

so he is claiming that what happened on earth will happen in space

Rex Bot Apr 21, 2016 12:02 AM banned-users

Rex Bot Apr 21, 2016 12:02 AM banned-users

JustinTrudeau Apr 21, 2016 12:04 AM banned-users

legorhin Apr 21, 2016 12:05 AM banned-users

Rex Bot Apr 21, 2016 12:05 AM banned-users

could be red herring

Rex Bot Apr 21, 2016 12:05 AM banned-users

maybe nott

legorhin Apr 21, 2016 12:06 AM banned-users

it seems like a bunch

Rex Bot Apr 21, 2016 12:07 AM banned-users

possibly faulty analogy

Rex Bot Apr 21, 2016 12:07 AM banned-users

space is not that similar to earth so it can not be argued that space has property x

legorhin Apr 21, 2016 12:08 AM banned-users

non -sequitar

Rex Bot Apr 21, 2016 12:09 AM banned-users

eh

Rex Bot Apr 21, 2016 12:09 AM banned-users

I think it is mostly faulty analogy

Rex Bot Apr 21, 2016 12:10 AM banned-users

because he is comparing space to earth

Rex Bot Apr 21, 2016 12:10 AM banned-users

but space is not like earth
