Thompson Invisibility Syndrome

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 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. The Thompson invisibility syndrome, a form of axiomatic thinking, is one of these three unhappy possibilities.

Thompson Invisibility Syndrome occurs when a frame-of-reference (worldview / paradigm / fake-reality) acts as a filter to make things and persons outside that frame of reference psychologically invisible.

Examples of the Thompson Invisibility Syndrome

Sandra: “It isn’t reasonable to say that God reveals things to you by Divine revelation.”

Roxanne: “What principle of logic is being violated?”

Sandra: “This is the God fallacy. There is no God, so God cannot reveal anything to you by Divine revelation.”

If we had seen this entire exchange, we would see that Sandra is trying to prove her conclusion of supposed non-existence of God. Now, Sandra has come full circle in her reasoning. The truth is that she has built a worldview that includes naturalism and materialism, both of which make the unsupported assertion of presupposed non-existence of God and the spiritual realm. Now, she has encountered a person who is being led by the Holy Spirit moment by moment, and it conflicts with her inner fake-reality. For this reason, she is fighting desperately to get rid of the conflicting information.

Sandra Scientist: "I see no evidence for the global Genesis Flood. None."

Roxanne Scientist: "You have got to be kidding me."

Yes, this syndrome infects scientists as well as all other people.
