Sir Robert Watson-Watt's `` rebuttal '' of Sir Charles Snow's Godkin Lectures is marred throughout by too forceful a desire to defend Lindemann and apparently himself from Sir Charles' supposed falsehoods while stating those `` falsehoods '' in an unclear incoherent argument.

The argument against this last approach is comparable to that which rejects stories about hoop snakes, about snakes that break themselves into many pieces and join up again, or even of ghosts that chase people out of graveyards ; ;

For it is clear that the total number of ordinary intersections of C and Af must be even ( otherwise, starting in the interior of C, Af could not finally return to the interior ), and the center of rotation at T is the argument of the function, not a value.

Therefore, for any value of T the number of values of f{t} is equal to the ( finite ) number of tangent points corresponding to the argument T plus an odd number.

The Mathematical Appendix presents the rigorous argument, but is best read after Part 1, in order that the assumptions underlying the equations may be explicit.

There is nonetheless considerable argument against the clause, softened though it be, on the grounds that Federal aid is so necessary to the public schools.

The first argument is thus an ideal experiment in which we use the method of difference.

I come now to a third argument, which again is very simple.

Obviously, a satisfactory answer to the third question is imperative, if the argument is to get under way at all, for if there is any possibility of doubt whether the patient's tactual sensitivity had been impaired by the occipital lesion, any findings whatsoever in regard to the first question become completely ambiguous and fail altogether, of course, as evidence to establish the desired conclusion.

If the argument is accepted as essentially sound up to this point, it remains for us to consider whether the patient's difficulties in orienting himself spatially and in locating objects in space with the sense of touch can be explained by his defective visual condition.

Yet, if the argument is turned awry, there may be found a great deal in Bryan's view, after all.

The argument from moral normativity challenges the biological and sociological account of the development of human morality.

Irreducible complexity ( IC ) is an argument by proponents of intelligent design that certain biological systems are too complex to have evolved from simpler, or " less complete " predecessors, through natural selection acting upon a series of advantageous naturally occurring, chance mutations.

The argument from irreducible complexity attempts to demonstrate that certain biological features cannot be purely the product of Darwinian evolution.

Counter to the reductionist argument would be a more biological theory ( and somewhat materialistic viewpoint ).

One argument is that gender characteristics are socially constructed and therefore naturally unrelated to biological sex.

In terms of the nature versus nurture debate, biological determinism is approximately analogous to the " nature " argument, and social determinism is similar to the " nurture " view-point.

However, there is an argument that nuclear and biological weapons do not belong in the same category as chemical and " dirty bomb " radiological weapons, which have limited destructive potential ( and close to none, as far as property is concerned ), whereas nuclear and biological weapons have the unique ability to kill large numbers of people with very small amounts of material, and thus could be said to belong in a class by themselves.

He argued that " it suggests there is an enormous sphere of life, of biology, at deeper levels in the ground than we have had any knowledge of previously " and that this evidence would " destroy the orthodox argument that since oil contains biological molecules, oil reserves must have derived from biological material ".

The argument is that they were ' solidists ', which meant then something akin to biological psychiatry with a focus on brain disease, and were embarrassed by Pinel's focus on psychological processes.

Another argument for this has been expressed by John Searle, who is the advocate of a distinctive form of physicalism he calls biological naturalism.

This argument situates " traditional " gender roles as biological, ahistorical imperatives, a claim that has been contested by Sigmund Freud, Judith Butler, Jay Prosser, Anne Fausto-Sterling, and many others.

Rachman provides a very strong argument for this theory in his article: ‘’ Phobias .’’ He agrees with the statement that phobias generally concern objects that constitute a direct threat to human survival, and that many of these phobias are quickly acquired because of an " inherited biological preparedness.

When in his teens, his sister revealed in an argument that his biological father was really a Swedish sailor named William Björklund.

( Philosopher Hubert Dreyfus would make this argument against " the biological assumption " in 1972.

One example of such an argument, which uses God as an explanation of one of the current gaps in biological science, is as follows:

For instance, Leetah's parents were close for some time before they Recognized, and they immediately complied with the biological imperative without any argument.

The philosophical argument runs, briefly, as follows: firstly, from what is known about evolution, any biological change in a species arises by a random genetic change in a single individual which spreads throughout its breeding group.

Dvorsky presented an argument for non-human animal biological uplift at the IEET Human Enhancement Technologies and Human Rights conference at Stanford University in May 2006 ; and wrote the first published article in defence of the Ashley Treatment in November 2006, and subsequently the only bioethicist cited by Ashley X's parents in their defense.

This argument was the basis for his biological theory in which the characteristics of biological existence (" life ") could not simply be described as a sum of its non-organic parts, but had to be described as subject and a part of a sign system.

A counter-argument that has been made against this application of the argument – and that can be used against the argument from poor design itself – points out that the argument from poor design assumes that efficiency and neatness are the only criteria upon which the quality of biological design must be judged.

When the Boers bombarded Ladysmith with Creusot ninety-four pounder siege guns, Chamberlain asked for the dispatch of comparable artillery to the war, but was exasperated by the Secretary of State for War, Lord Lansdowne's argument that such weapons required platforms that needed a year of preparation, even though the Boers operated their " Long Tom " without elaborate mountings.

In the May 2006 edition of the Weekly Standard, McGavick made the argument that Iran should be banned from the FIFA World Cup due to its nuclear weapons research program and statements by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that deny the truthfulness of the holocaust ( which is a criminal offense in the 2006 World Cup host country, Germany ).
