right.. Reasoning superseeds thinking.  Reasoning is a higher cognative brain function.  Dogs and cats can think, but not quite reason.  If a dog is hungry and has access to food, they will eat it. It's not really a choice for them.  A hungry person can save the food for later and be totally comfortable not eating because they understand... through reasoning, they are not going to starve, they can eat in awhile and everything will be just fine.\n\nA hungry dog's thought process is pretty much stuck on.... food food i need food im hungry must eat food gemme food.\n\nknow what i mean?  jellybean

Having the ring of truth or plausibility but actually fallacious: a specious argument.

Looks like you are doing more thinking than you are concentrating on how to put your question ,,,, People can only read what you write not what you are think ,,,, Just exactly what is your question ?

Do you mean Critical Thinking? Because everyone should know how to tell the difference between a rational argument and a logical fallacy. Those who know how to recognize a logical fallacy (such as a straw man argument or an ad hominem attack) make much better citizens because they can tell when a politician is relying upon fallacies and mistruths rather than facts and logical arguments to try to prove his point.

You can have both.While intellect uses reason and logic It is not at all a contradiction to have faith or hope or wonder about the mysteries of life .Scientists cannot measure some things so they cannot be proved or disproved.Yet.

I believe it is. A wise man once said "it is better to be happy than to be right." When we get defensive, we have some inner need to be right. If we're confident in what we believe, it doesn't matter to us whether or not others see things our way.

What we are interested in, what drives us, what we enjoy and find important, are very rarely logical.  If we lived by logic alone, I doubt we would ever have made it down from the trees, let alone out of the caves.  Humans are driven to learn, for no really logical reason other than instinctive drive- Logic requires quantifiable results for definable problems.  Where is the logic in eating?  To stay alive?  Where is the logic in living?  There isnt any-we live because we want to, we have kids and love them because we want to, are driven to...we use logic to get us what we want-Logic is only one tool that slavishly serves our mindless and beautiful passions.  One of those passions is to learn and explore, so yes, its imminently logical.

Certainly. Things that are beyond logic are what we know as illogical or nonsensical.\n\nA bright red, invisible, four sided triangle.\n\nThe native range of the mock turtles used to make mock turtle soup.\n\nAn omnipotent god who fathers himself and then sacrifices himself to himself to allow himself to change a rule he made to put limitson himself.\n\nThose things are all beyond logic. Being beyond logic isn't a good thing. It isn't a profound thing. It doesn't make an idea powerful or useful. It doens't speak to some deeper truth. It simply means that the idea is so silly that we can't extract any useful information from it no matter how we try.

No, I don't think. Thinking always interferes with my thought process.

In our FINITE minds, we only can comprehend that everything is an effect, and has a cause.\n\nWe can not comprehend that there is a cause... but nothing caused the cause.\n\n.. ouch... my brain can't handle this!! :)

taking an opposing viewpoint in an argument, not necessarily because you believe it, but to help the other individual work out their arguments in favour of their position

The analogy is invalid because the real choice is "believe a bunch of rediculous stuff or rediculous consequences will happen that you also don't believe"\n\nThere is no choice at all, because belief is not a matter of choice.  It's a matter of finding evidence compelling.  I can not choose to disbelieve in gravity any more than I can choose to believe in leprechauns.  I am not direct control of my beliefs.

I'm curious about this question too... and if you could explain your answer using examples why you think what you think?
