DB # 7 Fallacies

A fallacy I decided to choose for this post is “Personal incredulity.” The personal incredulity fallacy is when someone concludes that something they have found difficult to understand or solve is not valid. For example, “I don’t understand how the evolution theory could explain life on earth, so I choose to believe in creationism.” The fallacy of argument from incredulity occurs when someone asserts that it must be false because they can’t believe or imagine something being true. Conversely, something must be valid since they can’t imagine how it could be faulty.
