factual evidence, if you are always saying i think this and i think that, then there is no substance to your argument... you need to have statistics and facts that prove your argument

Credible means believable.  A source is where you find information, so you want the information that you find to be believable when you're making an argument using this information.

In a thesis statement or a thesis paper?  I guess in a thesis sentence you should place a condensed version of your argument that draws upon the sources and topics that are discussed in your paper.  It is your argument plus things the reader may look at that supports it.  This can be followed by an antithesis which is the opposing argument.  It makes your argument stronger by showing that you've considered more than one side, and often in the end you will have  a strong statement that is qualified and takes into account opposing sides.  I hope this helps a little!

It is either a form of material, or it means to find out people's opinions, or to present evidence. See the link below... it should help!

A rational argument. Instead of the mind numbing arguments I typically see.  I am not holding my breath.

To begin with we need to look at the question and the language used to ask for answers. First is "logic". A simple definition is provided by Wikipedia which states:\n\n"Logic, from Classical Greek λόγος (logos), originally meaning the word, or what is spoken, (but coming to mean thought or reason) is most often said to be the study of criteria for the evaluation of arguments, although the exact definition of logic is a matter of controversy among philosophers. However the subject is grounded, the task of the logician is the same: to advance an account of valid and fallacious inference to allow one to distinguish good from bad arguments.\n\nTraditionally, logic is studied as a branch of philosophy. Since the mid-nineteenth century logic has been commonly studied in mathematics, and, even more recently, in computer science. As a formal science, logic investigates and classifies the structure of statements and arguments, both through the study of formal systems of inference and through the study of arguments in natural language. The scope of logic can therefore be very large, ranging from core topics such as the study of fallacies and paradoxes, to specialist analyses of reasoning such as probably correct reasoning and arguments involving causality."\n\nSecond, we must look at the word "truth". It is important to note that the word is not capitalized so we can avoid metaphysical theory or definitions based on cultist beliefs, such as christianity or other god-dependent or deity dependent definitions. The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy is quoted as proposing that truth is:\n\nA preliminary issue, although somewhat subsidiary, is to decide what sorts of things can be true. Is truth a property of sentences (which are linguistic entities in some language or other), or is truth a property of propositions (nonlinguistic, abstract and timeless entities)? The principal issue is: What is truth? It is the problem of being clear about what you are saying when you say some claim or other is true. The most important theories of truth are the Correspondence Theory, the Semantic Theory, the Deflationary Theory, the Coherence Theory, and the Pragmatic Theory. Whichever theory of truth is advanced to settle the principal issue, there are a number of additional issues to be addressed: \n     1. Can claims about the future be true now? \n     2. Can there be some algorithm for finding truth –        some recipe or procedure for deciding, for any claim in the system of, say, arithmetic, whether the claim is true? \n     3. Can the predicate "is true" be completely defined in other terms so that it can be eliminated, without loss of meaning, from any context in which it occurs? \n     4. To what extent do theories of truth avoid paradox? \n     5. Is the goal of scientific research to achieve truth? \n\nLogic is one form of epistemological approach to ascertaining knowledge. It is the "how we know what we know and the limitations of that knowledge". Logic is a tool for explanation of the ideas, observations, and experiences. It could also be said that logic is sometimes used poorly to acertain truth. Most clearly in areas of theology. Logical fallacies and faulty logic come most readily to mind. But that is another question for another time.

A weaker argument can defeat a stronger argument if it is worded more clearly and better than a stronger argument.  If you can't say what you have to say well (so that others can understand you), then you can't argue very well no matter how strong your argument is.  Also, some people like to argue with a loud voice and be very aggressive, and often they win arguments (even if their argument is weaker) due to intimidation and an inability for the other person to speak.\n\nOften, though, it is easier for a stronger argument to defeat a weaker argument.

Reason is the answer, but also has a dual meaning.  Reason can mean the need for a certain thing or it can mean thought-- the ability to reason, in other words.

The Bible is a very good tool to use in arguments if you don't really want to think too hard because it's pretty easy to find whatever passage in there to suit your needs if you need to pull something out.  Seeing as how it's a pretty popular book, it's not that bad an idea.\n\nThere are people out there who actually take time to study it and figure out things, but those kinds of people seem more rare these days.

Although an argument is the presentation of facts in an essay in an effort to convince an audience of the validity of your point of view or belief, in an argumentative essay it will be necessary to point out the rhetorical opinions that a writer is wanting to override or prove inadequate or false in order to prove the finer points in a writer's opinion and thusly convince the audience.

I guess they would use statistics to make arguements.  Stats can be a powerful persuasive tatic when trying to make a point.

I was taught to write the best argument then least important after and then at the end summarize again your main argument. You want the reader to think that your points are interesting, the arguments that are not so important I would just stick to the basic points I would not go into useless detail about them (main points).\nbut it can also depend on who is marking your work and what that teacher likes, ask them if you can.

the diff between a persuasive paper and an argumentive paper is about what the motivation to talk about it is. if you're compairing it to someone else's oppinion, then it's arg. if you're just trying to get people to do or think about something, then it's pers.
