Deductive Reasoning and Inductive Argumentation
Elihu's argument is that god doesn't make mistakes. He says any time you've been hinting that god has done wickedly, or at least unfairly, then you're wrong in that. And this is a foundational premise that we need to base our court case on. I may not know what god is doing, but it's not wrong of him to do it. The danger of using inductive reasoning from human experience to try to extrapolate out what must god be and the danger of that is you'll come up with a picture of god that isn't worth believing in.
