  • This isn't my video. I found it and I believe that it is a very simple and easily understandable way of properly conducting an argument, or how to refute one.
    If you take any form of logic class, argument class, or critical thinking class, you will be taught this. And the structure of a proper argument.
    Such structure, or definition, of an argument, is as follows.
    "A sequence of statements, in which such statements are called premises, are given in support of another statement, called the conclusion."
    This will come into play with VALIDITY.
    "A deductive argument is valid, if and only if, it's logically impossible for all of its premises to be true, yet it's conclusion to be false."

    This is a pretty solid video. Not because it seems to be directed at belief in God, but because it presents a pretty clear understanding of what a person making a claim, especially an extraordinary claim, should expect. They should expect to own the burden of proof, and embrace skeptics with their proof. )See Truthers)

    What is 'super natural'? Anything which doesn't occur 'naturally'? A thousand years ago people believed lighting was supernatural. Magnetism was also deemed supernatural. Full moons too. Something which may seem supernatural now, may be entirely 'natural'.
