How to Understand Syllogisms

This video uses rainbow trout as an example of a what a valid and true syllogism is. Syllogisms help us think deductively and understand the importance of a major premise. If the major premise is false, then all conclusions based on it are also false.

@44eelz, as far as I know, not much has changed between 1800 and 2010, unless there is a time machine I am unaware of. There is evidence for evolution and evidence for creation, but that is all science can do is provide evidence. Science cannot prove evolution or creation by God. Instead of being a question to ponder, many turn evolution into a disease of learning by dogmatically insisting on "the fact of evolution".

@ichthmus153 ... its 2010, maybe it would have been a great ending in 1800

but props for the diagram info

@44eelz , aww, come on, the ending is a great point too!

My message was not to use the tools of reason to justify faith, but to show that believing in creation or evolution is a faith based decision, and not based on evidence. You can develop logical arguments for both, but believing either one requires faith, either faith in man's reasoning alone, or faith in God's word. Did you read Eph. 2:8-9? It talks about faith being a gift from God, and not something we earn.

So do you not believe there are any self-evident truths, only evidence-based ones?
