i was proving my argument by logic. i was not asking a question. sorry its hard to explain. logic takes apart a argument and condences it to simple saying. ex. all ___ are ____ or some ___are not___ . There are ways to read a argument and state whether it is false or not by the constructin of the argument or theory. most arguments and theories can be proven false this way. think of it as a version of the scientific methoid.

First, by assuming there is such a truth as "good" and "evil" and second by assuming that selfishness is evil. In addition, how can a person NOT be selfish?

"logic" seventh edition, by Patrick J. Hurley U of San Diego defines begging the question as. "Arguer creates the illusion that inadequate premises are adequate by leaving out key premise, by restating the conclusion as a premise, or by reasoning in a circle". ok what key premise did i leave out. did i use Circular logic?
