Logical Fallacy of Denying the Correlative Conjunction / Denying the Correlative

Denying the correlative conjunction is one of the many smokescreens that are used to cover the fact that the reasoning is based on one of the three fallacies of Agrippa's trilemma. Whenever 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 regress, circular reasoning, or axiomatic thinking. This problem is known as Agrippa's trilemma. Some have claimed that only logic and math can be known without Divine revelation; however, that is not true. There is no reason to trust either logic or math without Divine revelation. Science is also limited to the pragmatic because of the weakness on human reasoning, which is known as Agrippa's trilemma.

The logical fallacy of denying the correlative conjunction / denying the correlative occurs when someone has a choice between two mutually exclusive statements (the correlative conjunction) but rather than choosing one of the two, introduces a third.

Examples of the Logical Fallacy of Denying the Correlative Conjunction / Denying the Correlative

Rocky: "Can you give me deductive reasoning showing that evolution actually happened or not?"

Sandy: "Evolution is science and everyone who has a brain knows it."

Two choices were given to Sandy. Sandy didn't answer but introduced a third choice that dodged the question.

Rocky: "Since you say that you believe the Bible and also believe that in Naturalism, would you say that Jesus did the miracles we read about in the Bible or not?"

Sandy: "I believe that Jesus was born, crucified, and buried."

That doesn’t answer the question does it. This is a dodge.
