C44202--Day9--Begging-the-question Fallacy

2. The argument of Sean

Premise: Since the criminal mind is defined as a mind that can't be rehabilitated.

Conclusion: Therefore the criminal mind can not be rehabilitated.

Attack: The above argument is illustrated with "Question-begging definition". In the premise, the criminal mind is already been defined as the mind that can not be rehabilitated. So the corresponding conclusion is not convincing.

4. The argument of Roy

Premise: There is a chapter in the Bible, saying that all scripture is given by inspiration of God.

Conclusion: The Bible is the inspired word of God.

Attack: The argument above commits the "Arguing in a circue" fallacy. In the process, the premise "the Bible itself asserted that scripture is given by God” is actually the same as the conclusion of "the Bible should be regarded as the divined word". The arguer didn't present any new point to prove conclusion. So the argument will collapse of itelf.
