  1. If the arguments have the same conclusions, but the premises in one argument contradict the premises in another argument, then these arguments cannot be used together. I am right?

  2. For example I have two convincing arguments to justify belief in AM:

Phenomenal conservatism and IBE (the best explanation argument)I have two arguments to justify my belief in M.

These two argumentsArgument A and argument B have the same conclusionsconclusion, but for example theirthe premises are contradictory. I can't use them together.

Phenomenal conservatism is a simplerof argument A contradict the premises of argument B, but it is a weaker justification.so

IBE is a more complex argument, but it is a strong justificationI cannot use them together at the same time because they would contradict each other.

Can I use these two arguments individually depending on the situation? Whenseparately when I need a simple and not too strong justification,to? If I want to use phenomenal conservatismargument A, I stop using argument B and start using argument A.

If I need a strong justificationwant to use argument B, I stop using phenomenal conservatismargument A and start using IBEargument B.

Thus I could have many justifications for believing A, even though these justifications contradict each other and cannot be used together. But I want to askknow if it is possible toI can do so,this or shouldif I immediatelyneed to choose only those arguments that doone argument.

Will it be rational or not contradict each other? Will there be any contradictions or not?

I have two arguments to justify my belief in M.

Argument A and argument B have the same conclusion, but the premises of argument A contradict the premises of argument B, so

I cannot use them together at the same time because they would contradict each other.

Can I use these two arguments separately when I need to? If I want to use argument A, I stop using argument B and start using argument A.

If I want to use argument B, I stop using argument A and start using argument B.

I want to know if I can do this or if I need to choose only one argument.
