Logical Fallacy of Burden of Proof / Shifting the Burden of ProofThe logical fallacy of shifting the burden of proof occurs when the assumption is made that something is true (or false unless) proven otherwise. Examples of the Logical Fallacy of Burden of Proof / Shifting the Burden of Proof
The logical fallacy here is the assumption that naturalism is true without any proof. What the person making this claim ought to do is to either demonstrate that naturalism is absolute and true (don't know how one whould do that, though) or else to admit that it is irrational to believe in naturalism. If naturalism were reality, why would anyone who believed in naturalism try to shift the burden of proof?
The logical fallacy here is the assumption that the six-day creation is true without any proof. What the person making this claim ought to do is to either demonstrate that creation is absolute and true (This is easy to demonstrate) or else to admit that it is irrational to believe in naturalism. So, how do we know that God created everything is six days? God reveals it. Everyone who follows Christ is led by Christ. Christ reveals that the Bible is His Word, without error and that Christ speaks through the Bible. Through the Bible, Christ tells us that He created everything, and also that He created the Heavens and the Earth and everything in them in six days. He also tells us that anyone can verify this by seeking Christ in sincerity until they find Him. All who seek Him find Him. So, why would anyone who follows Christ try to shift the burden of proof? 
How can we know anything about anything? That’s the real question |
