Logical Fallacy of Proof by FallacyWhenever 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. Proof by fallacy 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. Logical Fallacy of Argument from Fallacy occurs when there is no premise given in support of a conclusion that is not dependent on some fallacy. Agrippa's Trilemma will assure that every argument against God, against the Bible, and against the history of the Bible will be based on either infinite regression, circular reasoning, or arbitrary assumptions that are taken as axioms. In other words, such arguments must be logical proof by fallacy. Fallacies can be very deceiving and hard to discover, but the fallacies will be there. And it doesn't matter whether the attacks come from an angry man like Dawkins or a rocker like Gungor, the fallacies will be the bases. Agrippa's Trilemma assures this to be true. Exception: Just because there is a fallacy in an argument doesn't automatically eliminate the entire argument. A person may give two premises for a conclusion, one of them being fallacious and the other being valid. In this case, you throw out the fallacious premise and examine the one that appears to be valid. Examples of the Logical Fallacy of Proof by FallacyEvolutionism has many premises that are used to support the stories; however, every one of those premises is based on one fallacy or another. There is not one so-called proof for the Big-Bang-Billions-of-Years-No-Flood-Molecules-to-Man story that does not depend on a story, an assumption, an infinite regression, circular reasoning, or some other fallacy. Evolutionism is not based on Divine revelation, so the Münchhausen Trilemma eliminates the possibility of anything but an argument form fallacy.
