Logical Fallacy of False Accusation / Finding a Fault Where None Exists / False Conflict / False ErrorWhenever 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. False accusation, a form of axiomatic thinking, is one of these three unhappy possibilities. The logical fallacy of false accusation / finding a fault where none exists / finding a conflict/error where none exists occurs when a problem is alleged but no evidence proves that the problem exists. This problem could be wrong-doing, fault, error, fallacy, inconsistency, or anything else. Examples of the Logical Fallacy of False Accusation / Finding a Fault Where None Exists / False Conflict / False Error
Another way that this comes up is that Sandy will name an alleged error. Then, Rocky will explain why it is not an error. Sandy will either dogmatically and irrationally defend his position that this is an error or will jump to another. When Rocky explains the arbitrary assumptions that are needed for the second false conflict or error, Sandy will bring a third. This can continue indefinitely with a person who doesn't like what God says through the Bible.
Bill Nye is fishing for a conflict here when no conflict exists. He is apparently he doesn't know that the same God Who wrote the Old Testament also wrote the New Testament, that the New Testament builds from the Old, that Jesus quoted from Genesis in the New Testament treating it as historical fact to make points about present reality, and that they confirm each other.
How can we know anything about anything? That’s the real question |
