Logical Fallacy of Non-Support

 

Logical Fallacy of Non-Support

The Logical Fallacy of Non-Support occurs when an event or situation is being explained, yet the evidence that the  event or situation exists is flawed.

Examples of the Logical Fallacy of Non-Support

Bill Nye arguing against Creation science: "The other thing I just want to point out, what you may have missed in Evolutionary explanations of life is the mechanism by which we add complexity. The Earth is getting energy from the Sun all the time, and that energy is used to make life-forms somewhat more complex."

There is no evidence that this "mechanism" does this. Information of the type that would be needed to add complexity has not been observed.
