[QUOTE="CACTUSJACKmankin, post: 34187971, member: 176329"] Before I start: submitted! In any debate, every point raised by either side is by definition an argument. There are a specific type of arguments known as logical fallacies, which are invalid because for one reason or another they address something other than the arguments that the opponent raises or they make assumptions that aren't necessarily true. Strawmen are invalid because by definition they involve a mischaracterization of the opposing side to make one's point. For example, the statement "humans didn't evolve from monkeys" is a strawman because evolutionary science has never claimed that humans evolved from monkeys. [/QUOTE]
