Thanks Davis for responding. Indeed it confused me but I think it’s on purpose that the professor put these two similar arguments, but written differently.
So we had one argument that said: Everything my mother says is true. My mother says god exists. Therefore, god exists.
That was seen in class as a deductive argument since the premises are true then the conclusion can’t be false.
then we had to show if it was valid and sound.
Now I know these sentences are stupid, but we are not talking about whether or not it is.
