Logical Fallacy of Appeal to Pride / Argumentum Ad Superbiam / Appeal to Vanity
The Logical Fallacy of Appeal to Pride / Argumentum Ad Superbiam / Appeal to Vanity occurs when the reason for acting of believing is pride or vanity. One way this is done is through flattery (apple polishing, wheel greasing, stroking the ego). Another is to imply that you ought to believe a certain thing or take a certain action because of how wonderful you are. This can also be used by implying that believing or acting will make you look good to others.
Examples of the Logical Fallacy of Appeal to Pride / Argumentum Ad Superbiam / Appeal to Vanity
"You students are too intelligent to believe the stories in some old book [the Bible]."
This is a common argument against what God is saying concerning the history of the world, including Creation, the geneologies, and the Global Flood. Yet the students are so intellegent that they are asked to believe that nothing exploded and became everything by chance.
