can I correctly argue an egg is a fruit

[methylatedghosts]

Actually, not all fruits are vegetables. Fruits like those of the dandelion, milkweed, and the maple tree aren't considered vegetables. Vegetables (the term "vegetable" has no scientific meaning) are edible plant or plant parts we choose to use as food---sweet and citrus fruits excepted. A fruit ("fruit" is a scientific term) is the ripened, sometimes fleshy, ovary of a flowering plant that surrounds its seeds.

As are tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, string beans, and rice.

Yeah, I'd known for a while that fruits were what you describe here, but I'd always considered vegetables as being "any plant bits that are edible but not fruit"

Do you really belive the truth is on the internet.

Certainly not in the OP. Did you miss post #4?

Well, let's see your argument that an egg is a fruit.
But is egg salad fruit salad?

While it's true that all blueberries are blue berries, it's important to note that not all blue berries are blueberries...

But blueberries are purple and thus purple is blue and blue is strawberry.

A better analogy would be a coconut. You crack an egg like a coconut.

A five ounce bird cannot carry a one pound coconut. But a bird can lay an egg...

In his defense he did get better

So many atheist state that christians are not logical or reasoanable?

That would be a gross generalization on their part.

That by logic atheist have reasoned that God does not exist.

If one relies on empirical evidence alone, then that would be a reasonable conclusion.

They claim science has proven God does not exist.

No, one does not attempt to prove a negative.

Well, I know a lot about science and for example I can crunch the numbers in time-space very well....I,m a christian.

Good for you.

I can argue that an egg is a fruit-logically. Logic is nothing more then arguing correctly.

You can argue anything using logical fallacies.

Reason is your conclusion. If I argue correcly an egg is a fruit...is it reasonable to agree?

And I can argue that a team of mice built the world, but no matter how convincing I am, it does not make it a fact. So no.

Man's logic & reasoning is subject to mistake..if science is the observation of nature's phenomenon, and math is the explanation of that observation.

Not quite, but do go on.

I truly think your point is none too clear here.

Oh, I think the point of the OP was pretty clear, Luis. It's just that the point has little to do with the OP.

And yes, I agree with those who say that you cannot make a logical argument to argue an egg is a fruit. You can, however, use logical fallacies to make the argument, not that too many would be deeply impressed by such an argument.

 

[tumbleweed41]

Is the OP an admission that one must use logical fallacies to discredit scientific inquiry?

'Tis, methinks.

Nor is everything called a berry a berry. Strawberries, raspberries and blackberries are not berries; tomatoes, on the other hand are...

It makes it a lot easier when someone proves themselves not logical or reasonable.

Ostrich eggs

Ahhh the ostrich egg, it is to the egg world what watermelon is to the fruit world.

Oh, dear...another thread which is naught but word twisting.

Hypothesis: The Bible is bunk.
Car bumpers cannot lie.
Jesus saves (according to bumper stickers).
Therefore Jesus has a savings account.
Therefore Jesus really does like money changers.
The Bible is wrong!

My faith is shattered.

My faith in humanity, that is.

And what about Halle Berry?

Two ovaries, as far as anyone knows; so no...
