[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the poster who keeps trying to cite scholarly consensus. You continue the logical fallacy of appeal to authority. Think of the appeal to authority as the "Because I said so!" of logical arguments. It happens when someone claims something is true because [b]an expert[/b] or a famous person says it is, instead of using actual evidence. While it's usually smart to listen to experts, it becomes a fallacy when we treat their word as proof. History is full of such errors such as earth as center of universe (backed by the Church and interpretations of scripture) or man being separate and distinct from other animals (also based on biblical interpretation). [/quote] Especially when the "experts" are offering up the bible as "proof". [/quote]
