A valid argument is one in which it is impossible for the premises to be true while the conclusion is false. A sound argument is a valid argument in which all the premises are true.

The fallacy of equivocation occurs when an argument illicitly uses the same term or phrase in more than one way.

There are 365 days in the year, but the average person only works 8 hours a day. That’s one-third of a 24-hour day. So the average person only works the equivalent of one-third of 365 days—that is, about 122 days. However, the average person doesn’t work on the weekends. This means 2 days off a week. There are 52 weeks in a year, so there are 104 days off per year. Subtracting this from 122 days leaves only 18 days. But the average person gets at least this many days off each year between holidays and vacation time. So the average person doesn’t work at all.

The false dilemma fallacy occurs when an argument incorrectly assumes that there are only two options on some issue, when in fact there more.

[I]f God exists, then the objectivity of moral values, moral duties, and moral accountability is secured, but… if God does not exist, then morality is just a human convention, that is to say, morality is wholly subjective and non-binding. We might act in precisely the same ways that we do in fact act, but in the absence of God, such actions would no longer count as good (or evil), since if God does not exist, objective moral values do not exist.
-William Lane Craig

You have perhaps noted that global warming has struck Washington, hard. Since Gore behind talking about this nonsense, the weather has gone cold all over North America: We’ve had record storms in the Midwest; we have a record low temperature right now at Washington, D.C., for this time of year. So, everything seems to be say, God seems to be saying “Gore is wrong!”
