First Main Point Assignment

MAIN POINT 1 of the Persuasive Value Presentation
DIRECTIONS: Fill out the template on the SECOND PAGE of this document using the argument you developed for your Original Valid Argument assignment. When you do, closely follow the two examples provided below.
***
I. Main Point 1 (Write a single sentence here): Write: “I have developed an original valid argument about the existence of God.”
A. First point that supports Main Point 1 (Write a single sentence here):Write: “I argue that God does/doesn’t exist.” (Obviously pick one. Don’t literally write: “does/doesn’t”).
a. Write a single, relevant supporting sentence: Write the words “First Premise:” and then write your first premise.
b. Write a single, relevant supporting sentence: Write the words “Second Premise:” and then write your second premise.
c. If you have a third or fourth premise, write them here.
d. Write your conclusion here.
B. Second Point that supports Main Point 1 (Write a single sentence here): Write: “I can defend my argument against strong opponents.”
a. Write a single, relevant supporting sentence: Write: “An opponent might say that my _____ premise is false because ______,” filling in the blanks as appropriate.
b. Write a single, relevant supporting sentence: My opponent is wrong because _____ , filling in the blank to explain why your opponent is wrong without assuming that God exists, and without repeating what you have already said.
c. Write a transition sentence that moves fluidly to the next main point: Write something like: “I have other reasons for thinking that God does/doesn’t exist, too.”
For example:
I. Main Point 1 (Write a single sentence here):I have developed an original valid argument about the existence of God.
A. First point that supports Main Point 1 (Write a single sentence here):I argue that God does exist.
a. Write a single, relevant supporting sentence:First premise: If birds fly, then God exists.
b. Write a single, relevant supporting sentence: Second Premise: Birds fly.
c. Conclusion: Therefore God exists.
B. Second Point that supports Main Point 1 (Write a single sentence here): I can defend my argument against strong opponents.
d. Write a single, relevant supporting sentence: An opponent might say that my first premise is false because even though birds fly, God still does not exist, and my opponent might say that birds gained the ability to fly through evolution, and were not given that ability by God.
e. Write a single, relevant supporting sentence:My opponent is wrong because the ability to fly is so miraculous that it could not possibly have occurred by means of evolution.
f. Write a transition sentence that moves fluidly to the next main point:I have other reasons for thinking that God does exist, too.
