Logical Fallacy of Word Magic
The Logical Fallacy of Word Magic occurs when the existence of an entity, event, or concept exists simply because there is a word for it.
Examples of the Logical Fallacy of Word Magic
Events like the Big Bang, Molecules to Man, Abiogenesis, etc. are constantly spoken of as if they actually happened.
Atheism is spoken of as if there are really people who don’t know that God exists; however, God reveals that they know but choose not to acknowledge Him as God. God speaks this through the first chapter of Romans.
Fallacy Abuse
A person who refuses to acknowledge God may say that reference to God is word magic; however, that claim is based on a presupposition. That presupposition is based on an assertion contrary to fact. Those who follow Jesus Christ know He exists because they know Him and are led by Him moment by moment.
An ungodly-thinking website known as rationalwiki.org recently made an argument against this page. That argument is refuted here: http://www.SeekFind.net/Answer_to_Critic.html
