And now we don our Lewis Caroll

I am obsessed with Lewis Caroll, I am a big fan of his and as such I think I would like to end my blog with an argument that I discovered that was written by the man himself.
P1. Babies are illogical
P2.Nobody is despised who can manage a crocodile
P3 .Illogical persons are despised.

C. Babies cannot manage crocodiles.

This might seem a bit confusing, but if we switch up the premises, it might make a bit more sense:
P1. Babies are illogical.
P2. Illogical persons are despised.
P3. Nobody is despised who can manage a crocodile.

C. Babies cannot manage crocodiles.

How about someone try to figure out the conclusion to this one also posed by Caroll:
1. No ducks waltz
2. No officers ever decline to waltz
3. All my poultry are ducks

What is the conclusion to this?

Why?

What is wrong with these arguments made by a christian online encyclopedia?

* Atheists use circular logic to "disprove" the existence of God. That is, they presuppose that God does not exist and then argue that all proofs for the existence of God must be flawed because He does not exist. Christians can use presuppositional apologetics to break the circle of the atheists' circular reasoning. 

* Muslims also use circular logic to defend the Qur'an. They argue that the Qur'an is true because it is the Word of Allah, that it is the Word of Allah because it says so, and that we can rely on it because it is true. This is completely different from why the Bible is true. 

* Evolutionists will claim that a fossil is millions of years old because that is the date given by radiometric dating; then state that it is reliable because they "know" that the fossil is millions of years old due to the strata in which it was found; additionally because the radiometric dating methods agree with each other, and date correctly materials which were historically dated by humans.

  1. Begging the Question: They start off with the assumptions that atheists, muslims, and evolutionists all start off with the assumption that God isn't real, or Allah is real when they make argukuments. This is false.
  2. Ad hominem (abusive
Anything else?
