Five Common Thinking Errors
Conversation between Dave and Tim(non christian)

Tim: Hey Dave!
Dave: Hey!
Tim: How do you know Jesus rose from the dead?
Dave: Because he did. (4)
Tim: Thats not a good enough answer.
Dave: Fine, because my theology teacher says so and teachers are always right so therefore its true.(2)
Tim: Thats not a very good reason either.
Dave: Jesus spent his life preaching the gospel and it was told in the prophecies that he would rise from the dead to open the gates of heaven. (1)
Tim: Yeah those maybe true but that offers no explanation into how you know.
Dave: Many of people across the world believe in this that should be evidence enough.(5)
Tim: Fine if you cannot answer it just say so I will leave you alone.
Dave: No, I can answer it but your just a stupid atheist who won't listen. (3)
Tim: Fine, goodbye.

1.This line is a nonsequitur because he gives to truths (that we believe are true) but then the conclusion does not logically follow

2.This line displays false and vague premises because the fact tat teachers are always right is false, so even though the conclusion follows logically it is still false

3.This line displays an ad hominen because instead of attacking Tim's arguement he attacks a quality of him.

4.This line displays begging the question because he answers this while assumung what he is answering is already true.

5.This is an example of a Red Herring because the fact that lots of people around the world believe this has nothing to do with knowing Jesus rose from the dead.
