A cogent argument: i see that animals adapt to their environments, therefore animals must have DNA that allows them to adapt, and thus adaptation must be based on genetics.
Not cogent: i see animals adapt to their environment, therefore ots a fact that all animals evolved from a single cell organism that came to life magically one day.
Cogent arguments are based in empirical evidence, are are based on logic, reason, sense. A cogent argument must be sequitur and testable.
hope it's helpful for you...

A powerful inductive argument in which all of the premises are true is known as a cogent argument. Uncogent arguments are inductive arguments that are either weak or have at least one erroneous premise.
Explanation:
- Deductive arguments have qualities such as validity and soundness. Inductive arguments cannot be legitimate since the truth of their conclusions is not required by their premises.
- As a result, a new term for evaluating inductive arguments is required.
- The veracity of the premise makes the conclusion more likely to be true than untrue in a convincing argument.
- Example:
- The majority of birds have the ability to fly.
- Tweety is a bird, after all.
- As a result, Tweety is likely to be able to fly.
- Not convincing: I witness animals adapting to their surroundings, hence it's a truth that all animals developed from a single cell organism that miraculously sprang to existence one day.
