Logical Fallacy of Biased Conclusion from StatisticsThe logical fallacy of biased conclusion from statistics is one of the many smokescreens that are used to cover the fact that the reasoning is based on one of the three fallacies of Agrippa's trilemma. Whenever a logical fallacy is committed, the fallacy has its roots in Agrippa's trilemma. All human thought (without Divine revelation) is based on one of three unhappy possibilities. These three possibilities are infinite regress, circular reasoning, or axiomatic thinking. This problem is known as Agrippa's trilemma. Some have claimed that only logic and math can be known without Divine revelation; however, that is not true. There is no reason to trust either logic or math without Divine revelation. Science is also limited to the pragmatic because of the weakness on human reasoning, which is known as Agrippa's trilemma. The Logical Fallacy of Biased Conclusion from Statistics occurs when presupposition leads the conclusion beyond what can be deduced from the facts. Examples of the Logical Fallacy of Biased Conclusion from StatisticsThe statistics that are used to come to old-Earth conclusions. The scientists who are doing the research tend to only be taught and exposed to one side of the argument. The are trained to interpret the facts in a biased manner that favors old-Earth conclusions, sometime, in a very bizarre way. They tend to have a paradigm (fake-reality) that excludes a young Earth, so evidence for a young Earth seems bizarre to them. The bias is obvious.
