Logical fallacies 2

Evolutionists fail to see the logical flaw associated with extending what applies only in a  limited sense to everything or in  a more extended way.
How do they end up doing that?
In evolution there are two categories , microevolution and macroevlution.
Microevolution is nothing but variations which occur within a genus, forming new species.This is quite widely obsevable in nature  and testable in the lab.But this happens only in a limited way. These variations do not exceed certain limits.For example dogs after much cross breeding will not change their kind.They still remain dogs but a new breed of dog.So when evolutions take this as proof for macroevolution ,they are extending what is seen into what is not seen in nature.I.E the evolution of one kind from another.Best example evolution of  birds from reptiles.Evolution of birds from reptiles is not seen in nature, is not testable in the laboratory and is a result of reading evolution into between the two kinds of  organism.
This logical fallacy is called Fallacy of extension.The  above is  an example.

What's common between RSS/BJP and Md.Ali Jinnah?

I am sharing with you from the information i obtained as i was reading a magazine.
The one common thing between RSS/BJP and Jinnah is that both of them wanted a nation, based on religious ideology.Whereas Jinnah succeeded in what he wanted ,creating pakistan, RSS/BJP are still fighting for the same  , a Hindustan, where all non-hindus will be second class citizens as non muslims are in pakistan.
   So when some  BJP leaders see him ,they have lot of respect for him for he achieved what they are still striving for.

Misconception clarified - Hinduism and Christianity

Not long ago as i was discussing religion with my friend ,he being a hindu ,told me that hinduism is a way of life ,whereas christianity is just a set of belief.Again as i was scanning through the latest issue of hinduism today i saw the same claim that hinduism is a way of life whereas christianity is just a set of beliefs.
  Well it's true that hinduism prescribes a way or even many ways of living.But It is equally true that Christianty also is a way of life.The belief is always coupled with prescribed behaviour.Jesus' sermon on the mount is a call to a new lifestyle , kingdom lifestyle or way of living.Jesus, at the end of the sermon, warns his hearers that if they just hear and don't live according to it ,they will be considered foolish ,whereas those who hear and live according to it are wise in God's sight.
The earliest christians were called followers of the 'WAY'.They had a particular way of life , moral life ,which was in accordance to the teachings of Christ.
  The apostle James write in his epistle that faith without deeds is dead.Faith or belief without the right behaviour or way of life is dead faith.The apostle paul in one of his epistles writes that the right expression of faith is love.

Christianity does not prescribe external neutral things ,like what to eat, what not to eat,what to wear, hairstyle,whether you can have a beard or not.These are upto the christian to decide.He is free in this aspect.But what it does prescribe the morality that he should possess.So a christian can be in any culture, he can wear any dress, he can eat any food but his moral life should be in accordance with the teachings of Christ,his faith should be in Christ alone for salvation.Thus a arabic christian can wear the pyjamas,wear turban,have long bear and yet live his life according to the teachings of Christ.A tribal christian can wear his tribal outfits and still go to church and live according to the teachings of Christ.
  So it's a erraneous to assert that hinduism alone is way of life whereas Christianity is a just a set of beliefs.

Pseudotolerance = Intolerance

Hinduismtoday claims that hinduism is the most tolerant faith.It also claims in it's core belif that all religions lead to GOD.
Now they are  opposed to evangelism and conversion.

My question is very simple .If all religions lead to God as  hindus believe,then why do they oppose /condemn  if someone chooses to go to Christ? That will  anyway according to their own view  take him to God.
This either means they are unhappy because someone chose another way or it means that they don't believe Christianity will lead to God or it means they don't beleive Christianity is as good as hinduism.

This is a good case or example for pseudotolerance or pretended tolerance.

If hinduism is really as tolerant as it claims to be ,then they should allow others to do and talk whatever they want and tolerate it in a Spirit of ahimsa,which is also a core belief stated in the hinduism today website.

Why does a Good God allow evil ?

That is the most widely raised atheistic objection to christian faith.
While atheists know that the bible portrays God as good,they do not know that the bible also says he is Holy,just,merciful,patient.
The Question is incomplete in that it takes only one of the characters of God namely love.If they see the biblical God as just,patient,merciful,graceful then the equation will change.This is because God allows evil in his patience and mercy so that the perpetrator may come to repentence.God ,who is just will punish evil ,when the perpetrators of evil don't change their ways.God is forgiving and wants everyone to come to repentence that is why he put up with and allows evil for a while .But on the Judgement day ,he will do justice.He will punish all the unrepentent perpetrators of evil.

The second reason why God allows evil is because it is a byproduct of free will.God created freewill because God wants free agents who can choose to love Him and fellow humans.He does not want robotic love. God gave man freewill and because free will involves choosing between good or evil and not both at the same time,it becomes necessary to allow  evil as a expression of man's free will.In all these ,God condemns evil and commands man to do good.He also has promised punishment for evildoers if they do not turn away from it.

Haeckel fake embyo drawings

Ernst haeckel came up with what is called 'embryonic recapitulation' to support Darwin's evolution hypothesis.
He made a chart showing embyo's of various animals in three stages of development.It became very famous and he literally became a great scientist.He came up with 'Ontogeny repeats phylogeny'.

     This is his chart which shows 8 different embryos in 3 similair  stages of development.The earlier stages show more similarity than differences and that is the evidence for the embryological homology.This famous (fraudulent,cooked up) chart can be seen in all biology textbooks even today and Children are taught 'Ontogeny repeats phylogeny' with this chart as evidence.

This picture shows haeckel's manufactures drawings in the first row and original photographs in the second row.Embryoogical homology disappears in the original photographs of the embryo's .The second row contains original photographs,which disprove heckel's theory .Embrologic homology does not exist as haeckel claimed and is a hoax perpetrated by the evolutionists.
Haeckel's fraudulent diagrams are used even today to support evolution theory ,when in fact it is actually manufactured.

These photographs were taken by Michael richardson,a lecturer and embryologist at St George’s Hospital Medical School, London,who exposed this lie in his research paper ,"There is no highly conserved embryonic stage in the vertebrates: implications for current theories of evolution and development’, Anatomy and Embryology, 196(2): 91-106, 1997, copyright Springer-Verlag GmbH & Co., Tiergartenstrasse, 69121 Heidelberg, Germany. 

Jesus and Gandhi - not the same

Many are well aware of the non-violence and ahimsa policy and philosophy of Gandhi.It's a negative view.Ahimsa is about remaining silent when someone harms you.So when the British attacked their processions,they took the beating and kept shouting vande mataram.They did not strike back.When they organised the quit india movement,they did the same thing,they took the beatings and remained silent.But they were asking the british to leave the country.
Jesus' teaching many steps further.He taught about not just keeping quiet when attacked.He taught his disciples in matthew chapter 5

38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:

39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.

41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.

42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?

47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?

48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Very clear

"Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you"

Gandhian Ahimsa does not include blessing thoses who curse , going good to enemy or praying for the persecutors.

Critic of Swami Vivekanandha's view of humanity

   


Swami Vivekananda, one of the famous mystique of Hindu monism and proponent of advaida or pantheism held

 the view that human beings are not sinful but divine. He says in many of his works that ,"It is sin to call man a 

sinner".He says that those who call man a sinner are not looking at the good aspects of human beings.


Well nothing can be father from the truth. Take for example sewage water and drinking water. Drinking water is 

clean so let us keep it sinless and sewage as sin. So now lets add a little bit of sewage to clean drinking water. 

Now it contains a mixture of drinking water and sewage. If I ask you to drink that water claiming that you have to 

consider the percentage of clean water and not consider the sewage in it ,will you drink it. No ,you will not 

because, you know it is unfit for drinking and needs treatment to purify it.


Denying the fact that man is a sinner is not the solution to the problem of present and prevalent evil and 

sinfulness.Only if you accept your sinfulness can u give yourself to God and Lord JESUS so that he can purify you 

and make you fit and set for living life to the fullest.

Jesus said in John 10:10 "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and 

have it abundantly."

That is one of Jesus' Mission ,stating why he came. Why?  That you may have life and have it abundantly.

The life he talks about here is the divine life ,the Holy spirit who will take residence in you when you accept him 

and the outworking of that divine life manifesting as love for God and fellow humans which is holy and 

acceptable to God.

Swami Vivekananda is one of  those many thieves who have plundered India with their wrong teachings of 

monism and fatalism. Many people read his books and accept it as such without ever questioning it. This 

wrong teaching about man's inherent condition is just one of the many lies from the thief who has shown many a 

way to hell.

Jesus said,"I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep". That's exactly what he 

did.

Logical fallacies 1

Logical fallacies are a list of defects in the logical reasoning of a system.If you can spot a logical fallacy in any system,then it's definitely not true.

Strawman argument: In strawman argument ,  a false caricature of the opposing system is created,which is then attacked and disproved.
Atheists and Muslim normally use it against christians.

Atheists like Dawson, describe the Christian faith as something which has brought evil into this world.
   First,they fail to mention ,all the good that has come out of it.For example,most of the Universities in Europe and US were strted by Christians.Most of the hospitals and schools in many parts of the world are still ru by christians.Many important social reforms were brought about by christians.Eg abolition slave trade in england,abolition of sati in india.
   Seconly, they assume everyone who calls himself a christian,goes to church,takes communion are christians.That's not true.There are true christians and false christians.The true ones shuld known by their fruits.But Dawkins ,doesn't have such a deep understanding of Christianity and so calls the false believers as Christians who brought evil into the world through their wars and atrocities.

So dawkins leaves out the good brought into the world by christinity and takes a superficial assessment of anyone who calls himself a christian and then goes on to build a false caricature of Christianity which he knocks down conveniently.But, what he knocks down is not the real Christian faith.He does not even know what it really is.

Islam describes trinity as Mary,Jesus and God,the father ,and goes on to attack their false caricature of trinity.
True trinity is different from  the islamic description of trinity.Such factual errors point to it's false origins and false nature.

Both athiests and muslims will keep doing this because they 've got nothing else to tell.So be on the watch out.

Moral objections to Islam

There are many objections to Islam i.e resaon why it's not true or reason why i don't believe in it.
Mohammed's personal life is not a good example for us to follow.
1.You see , if someone calls himself a prophet and marries a 6 yr old girl , he is a false prophet not a true one.A false prophet cannot come up with a true revelation.
2.If someone calls himself a prophet to the world and marries his daughterin law ,after asking his adopted son to divorce her ,because Allah told him to marry her,then ,you know for sure he is a false prophet.

Jesus said in matthew 7
"Every tree is known by it's fruit.....No good tree bears bad fruit"

So when we apply the principle Christ has taught to prophet mohammed ,he turns out to be a false prophet.
I think ,that is sufficient to rule out Islam.Since the messenger is not true,the message cannot also be true.

Dawkins should learn the scientific definition of delusion

The diagnostic and statistical manual defines delusion as
"A false belief strongly held by a person in spite of evidence to the contrary.The belief is not ordinarily accepted by other members of the person's culture or subculture( i.e it is not an article of a religious faith)"
By definition religious belief do not come under delusions.
When a false belief is held by many persons in a culture it is called as a superstition.Religious ideas if found false can be categorized under superstition and not under delusion.
I think a scientist like dawkins should atleast study properly before choosing a title for his book.If dawkins lacks scientific knowledge about the definition of the word and it's right application how much more will be his ignorance with regard to theology ? And how much more ignorant will be he about the true God?
Belief in religion or God cannot be termed a delusion because by definition delusion excludes articles of religious
belief.
So much for the title of the book!

Is the atheistic understanding of religion right?

Atheism compared to other philosophical is simple to understand.Their only major proposition is an absolute negative.They assert the non existence of GOD.
A person is either an atheist or not an atheist.There are no true atheists and false atheists.You should believe in the non existence of GOD.There is no particular behaviour necessary to prove you are an atheist.Basically, what i am trying to say is they have belief system but no particular behaviour system.That's fine ,that's the logical outworking of atheism.There is no objective moral law because there is no moral law giver.They have the right to believe that and preach that,like dawkins does.
.
A THEISITIC system like christianity has two major components.
1.Belief in the biblical revelation about God .
2.A new way of lifestyle or behaviour  based on the teachings of Christ .
CHRISTIANITY = 1 +2 - True Faith.

Only 1 i.e belief without behaviour is what the bible calls false faith.
Only 2 i.e behaviour according to teachings of Christ without faith in God is not possible because his teaching were about God and how he was son of God or messiah + behaviour according to his teachings.
The problem comes when  atheists take their understanding of atheistic worldview i.e  a belief in an absolute negative without a need for  a behavioural system, and apply it to a theistic system like Christianity.
For example dawkins talks  a lot about the crimes of the catholic church and concludes that religion is bad.He even has a case that hitler might be a christian,because he claimed to believe in God.What infact he should have concluded is that, the catholic church/hitler  are not truly Christian based on the fruits they produced.He has taken his understanding of "either or" belief  of atheism and concluded that religion is bad instead of concluding that the church was not following the teachings of Christ,and thus it is/was a false church.Those who perpetrated inquisition,went on wars in the name of Christ,had mistresses and children out of wedlock cannot be called Christian because Christianity objects to these things and says clearly that such fruits indicate false faith.They may believe that a God exists , but the biblical God cannot be called upon if a person has not repented from such sins,which God is ready to forgive .Christianity is not just about forgiveness of sins.Ofcourse that's the first things.But what God promises is delivrance from sins.Jesus came and died for the sinners so that
1.Their sins can be forgiven on repentence and faith in him
2.They can be set free from the sins that they repented of.
Jesus also taught that ,"Every tree will be known by it's fruit".
The fruit of the spirit(spiritual new life) are:love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness andtemperance.
So faith in God without this output of fruit is not truly Christian.
Our atheist friend don't go this far to classify and discern the people they come across and so end up with a false caricature of religion which is easy for them to knock down.This lack of complete understanding and knowledge and it's non applicaion leads them to commit a logical fallacy called "Strawman argument"
In strawman argument you present a wrong caricature(factual erroraneous view ) of christianity as dawkins does ,knock it down correctly(logically knockdown the factually erraneous view instead of the true view) and think you have won the bout ,when in fact you have not even known or faced the true christian faith.
May God help them to know the Truth.
