Deductive Fallacy |
Deductive 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 also a casualty of the weakness on human reasoning, which is known as Agrippa's trilemma. The Deductive Fallacy occurs when any fallacy of deductive reasoning is committed. This is a very broad term that would include all deductive fallacies. Deductive fallacies are those fallacies where it is claimed that the premises provide absolute proof that a conclusion is true, but the premises do not absolutely prove that the conclusion is true. Keep in mind that for deductive reasoning to be sound, the premises must be true. That means that the reasoning on which they rest cannot be dependent on any arbitrary assumptions. Inductive reasoning is reasoning that shows that something might be true. Deductive reasoning is reasoning that absolutely proves that something is true.
