The student's logic is flawed but that professor is such a richard. Who just starts picking apart people's religions to their face like that? I don't believe in god either but what the professor did is really no better than going door to door handing out pamphlets.

Richard Dawkins.

Probably why no-one likes atheism anyways besides other atheists.
this. Atheists talk online only LOL.

The professor didn't know stuff, either.

The professor could have picked this stuff up and tossed it on the ground.
I don't get why people don't point out logical fallacies. Categorizing the idea of the existence of a deity and the existence of someone's brain are completely different. Also, darkness and cold, those are obvious; they are concepts that we have agreed upon. An absence can still be definite, measurable.

Because people who do are annoying.

I like how everyone thinks that the student was arguing that the professor didn't have a brain. He was stating that there was a chance that his brain might not exist.

However annoying this argument is, it is completely 100% valid.

BUT THE LOGICAL FALLACIES.

BUT THE LOGICAL FALLACIES.
The argument "You Can't Prove We Exist" is really annoying, but valid. There are no fallacies.

I was SARCASTIC.

Yet if everyone let these fallacies go bye, idiots would come into power.

oh wait

But we can observe evolution in bacteria.

No one cares or even notices them in any argument.

They're just tools used to nit-pick every argument to make sure no point is "valid."

But they're simply tools to help us learn moral and logical reasons for doing things, not doing things, having certain view points, etc.
However, you are partially right, sometimes people assume if there is a fallacy, the entire argument goes to stuff. (see link)

For example, see this picture.
A fallacy in this story is the argument from ignorance, which is assuming a claim is true because it cannot be proven false. (or vice versa) It's a fallacy because at that current time, or in any time, something may not be provable or unprovable, and thusly we must progress until we can prove/unprove the claim.


The only fallacies that seem plausible are the ones used in everyday common sense.

So yeah, some fallacies are automatic. I'm talking about the ones that are randomly pulled up to degrade a pretty damn good argument.
