| Allness Fallacy |
Allness 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 is known as Agrippa's trilemma. Some have claimed that only logic and math can be known; however, that is not true. Without Divine revelation, neither logic nor math can be known. Science is limited only to pragmatic thinking because of the weakness of human reasoning, which is known as Agrippa's trilemma. The allness fallacy, a form of axiomatic thinking, is one of these three unhappy possibilities. The Allness Fallacy occurs when statements are made that imply totality, finality, or unequivocal certainty beyond what we can know. Examples of the Allness Fallacy
