1. Nothing is permanent
Analysis: there is a ‘permanent thing’ in all of us. and ‘change’ can not change that ‘permanent thing’.
Is the statement true or false? Why?
False. I’ve said my reasons.
2. A powerful God can create a very big stone that He himself cannot lift
Analysis: Can i rephrase that?
A powerful God can create a very bis stone that He himself can still lift. ‘Powerful’ is very powerful. God is Absolute. Get it?
Is the statement true or false? Why? False
3. A great painter can draw a square circle
Analysis: First of all, what is a square circle and do it exist?
Is the statement true or false? Why? I think it is some how non sense unless you show what it is like first.
4. An observant person can see darkness
Analysis: So?
Is the statement true or false? Why? True
