    Reasons For

    Reason for
    ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Causal connections in nature operate independently of human rule systems; rational observation can access them without creative interpretation.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Logical entailments between propositions are real constraints on thought that reason grasps directly, not mediated by imaginative constructs.

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
