No, an argument cannot be void. An argument can be weak, flawed, or unconvincing, but it still retains its basic structure and content. A void argument would imply that there is no argument at all.

No idea. If the sonnets are in the order he wrote them (no guarantees there) and he never wrote any poetry after the sonnets were published in 1609, then it is Sonnet CLIV. That's a lot of unconvincing assumptions.

After you have the chupacabra tooth, you still need to prove that Nessie and the Jersey Devil exist. (The monks are stubborn about the Yeti and your snow footprint is unconvincing.)
Get the photo of Nessie, and some egg shells from the Jersey Devil, and then you can pursue Bigfoot instead of the Yeti.

Oh, that is very tough, and a hard impression to undo. The best approach is to simply be honest all the time, even if the results will be painful. Eventually, they will catch on that you mean business and that you do not lie. Don't try arguing or trying to prove that you tell the truth; that will only come across as defensive and probably unconvincing.

This could be due to the author not fully developing the characters or their emotional depth, resulting in unconvincing or forced emotions. It's essential for authors to create well-rounded characters with authentic emotions to engage readers effectively. Conducting research or drawing from personal experiences can help authors imbue their characters with authentic feelings and reactions.

The design argument, which posits that the complexity and order in the universe suggest a designer, is convincing to some people because it provides a logical explanation for the existence of complex systems. However, others find it unconvincing due to alternative explanations, like natural selection, and the lack of direct evidence for a designer. Ultimately, the persuasiveness of the design argument can vary depending on an individual's perspective and beliefs.

Christopher Columbus thought he had landed in Asia originally. He had no idea he had found a "new world." Of course, to the natives, it was far from new. Columbus wasn't exactly leader material, he was pretty much just lucky. In fact, his crew members consisted of murders and criminals that were locked away. That's all he could get the king and queen of Spain to forfeit because his boasts were so unconvincing.

The land of Goshen is identified as the area inhabited by the Israelites in Egypt (for example Exodus 8:22 and 9:26), and was not portrayed as a city. Goshen has never been localised with certainty but most scholars assume that it was in the eastern Nile Delta. However, the word Goshen does not occur in any Egyptian texts and efforts to derive it from the Egyptian language are unconvincing. It is likely that the biblical word 'Goshen' came from outside Egypt.
There is no particular biblical event that involves Moses in Goshen.

Since no one is manning the ticket booth, you have to win your tickets (rowboat and submarine) playing darts in the Pub. The first time you visit the island, you get a camera for helping a driver. Then at the Pub, you get matches and a rowboat ticket -- the rowboat operator leads you to photo site. But Mews finds your photo unconvincing.
The second time you go to Loch Ness, you can win the submarine ticket and photograph another false Nessie. But when you go back to the pub, you get a Pennywhistle that lets you summon the real Nessie when you venture out alone in the rowboat.

The script for the play Mamma Mia! does not identify a year. However it does say that daughter Sophie is 20, conceived during "Our Last Summer", which was "the time of the flower power". This seems to suggest that Sophie was born in the late 60s. In the film version there are also (unconvincing) flashbacks to the guys wearing hippie fashions. It also appears that Donna and her friends performed as the Dynamos during the disco era, the late 70s, when Sophie was a kid. All this adds up to the main story being set around the late 80s, probably no later than 1990.

Yes it is a cliche. It's a metaphor, of course. The image is of something without support, an unsupportable or shaky argument as of someone trying to stand on shaky legs. At one time, it was fresh and the imagery striking. Now, we hardly think about the imagery as the phrase itself is automatically read as meaning, 'unconvincing'. In general, cliches like this are best avoided as they tend to be untranslatable. In the original context of the phrase, the meaning would have been obvious. It is far better to think of a fresh alternative or failing that, use simple English such as, "His logic is flawed."

Planets do not die in the same way that living organisms do. Over millions of years, a planet can undergo changes that affect its habitability, such as cooling or loss of atmosphere. Eventually, the sun's evolution will impact Earth's ability to support life, but the planet itself will continue to exist.

Proto-Luke is a hypothetical document that may have been the main source for the gospel writers. Modelled on the Elihja-Elisha narrative of 1 and 2 Kings it is an alternative theory to the Q hypothesis. Proto-Luke has been reconstructed by Dr Tom Brodie (Dominican Biblical Institute, Limerick, Ireland) and is largely made up of material in Luke-Acts, but can be found in Mark, Matthew and John also. The theory is not unconvincing and explains the 'synoptic problen' more convincingly that the Q hypothesis. However, it has yet to be taken seriously by the academic community at large. However, a conference in Limerick in April of 2008 saw top scholars such as John Kloppenborg and Dennis MacDonald discussing Proto-Luke seriously which will result in a publication in the next few years which should see wider Proto-Luke discussion.

The concept of the seven levels of hell is a belief that originates from Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy, a medieval poem. In this work, Dante describes Hell as having nine circles, each representing different sins and corresponding punishments. The idea of seven levels of hell may be a simplification or misinterpretation of this concept.

I have studied the arguments for and against the Teleological Argument and find it entirely unconvincing. My knowledge of science is sufficient for me to understand why what order there is exists, without design. The extinction of species, which continues to the present day, means it is not governed by anyone or anything that wanted to create those species in the first place.

** THIS MAY BE CONSIDERED A SPOILER TO SOME PEOPLE **
In which book?
For The Hunger Games I'd say being in love with a girl that he may eventually have to kill or who may be killed by someone else.
"... Caesar asks him if he has a girlfriend back home. Peeta hesitates, then gives an unconvincing shake of the head. 'Handsome lad like you. There must be some special girl. Come on, what's her name?' says Caesar.
Peeta sighs. 'Well, there is this one girl. I've had a crush on her ever since I can remember. But I'm pretty sure she didn't know I was alive until the reaping.'
Sounds of sympathy from the crowd. Unrequited love they can relate to.
'She have another fellow?' asks Caesar.
'I don't know, but a lot of boys like her,' says Peeta.
'So here's what you do. You win, you go home. She can't turn you down then, eh?' says Caesar encouragingly.
'I don't think it's going to work out. Winning... won't help in my case,' says Peeta.
'Why ever not?' says Caesar, mystified.
Peeta blushes beet red and stammers out. 'Because... because... she came here with me.'"

Queen Anne Boleyn (c1501-07- 05/19/1536), Henry's second wife. She was beheaded at the Tower of London on 19th of may 1536.
The unfortunate Anne was charged with incest, adultery and High Treason, despite unconvincing evidence. The charges against her were trumped by Thomas Cromwell (Henry's Chief Minister at the time) so that Henry could get her out of the way and be free to marry again.
Poetic justice prevailed however - Thomas Cromwell was himself beheaded at the Tower of London on 28th July 1540. What goes around comes around...
Anne had only one child, Elizabeth (Henry's second daughter) who went on to be one of the most powerful and influential monarchs in British history - Queen Elizabeth I.
Ironically, we now know that the father is responsible for determining the sex of a child. Henry's difficulty in producing a male heir to the throne was his problem, not Anne's.
Talk about unfair dismissal!
