2 Peter 2:12a and Jude 1:10 & 19 speak of those who are like brute beasts, unable to process rational thought and only able to respond to their five senses because they don’t listen to the Holy Spirit.

“Inductive reasoning (as opposed to deductive reasoning or abductive reasoning) is a method of reasoning in which the premises are viewed as supplying strong evidence for the truth of the conclusion. While the conclusion of a deductive argument is certain, the truth of the conclusion of an inductive argument may be probable, based upon the evidence given.” (Wikipedia)

“Some dictionaries define “deduction” as reasoning from the general to specific and “induction” as reasoning from the specific to the general. While this usage is still sometimes found even in philosophical and mathematical contexts, for the most part, it is outdated.” (Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy)

Deductive Reasoning: True premises use valid form to prove a conclusion. If the premises are true and the form is valid, the argument is sound and the conclusion is true. If the premises aren’t known to be true or the form is invalid, the argument is unsound and the conclusion isn’t known to be true.

Example:

If X is true, then Y must be true. X is true. Therefore, Y is true.

Science is supposed to be based on inductive reasoning, but most of it is abductive. Divine revelation is absolute.
