Logical Fallacy of Distorted EvidenceWhenever 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 regression, 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. Without Divine revelation, neither logic nor math can be known. Science is also limited to the pragmatic because of the weakness on human reasoning, which is known as Agrippa's trilemma. Distorted evidence 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. The logical fallacy of distorted evidence occurs when, by whatever means, significant omissions or changes are made in the evidence on which an argument rests. Examples of The Fallacy of Distorted Evidence
That’s not true. Such a statement greatly distorts the evidence. It is an example of the fallacy of distorted evidence.
That’s not true. It is an example of the fallacy of distorted evidence. This statement also equivocates on the word, information, which has been scientifically defined, and a specific type, universal information, would be necessary for even the smallest step in imagined evolution. This kind of information is never added by natural processes but only comes from information. This has now been researched to the point where this is a scientific law.
That’s not true. It is an example of the fallacy of distorted evidence. This could also include an example of the fallacy of equivocation using the word, science, which is a very common equivocation among Athiests and Evolutionists. They are defining science as being governed by Naturalism or Materialism, which are two different views of Atheism. If this is the case, then this is also an example of the fallacy of circular reasoning. There is nothing that has been observed using scientific method that in any way disproves God. In fact, the observations are in conflict with Atheism, Naturalism, and Materialism. 
How can we know anything about anything? That’s the real question |
