Fossils are old because the Earth is old. The geological strata are old because the fossils are old. 'The Earth is old because the geological strata are old. It is either evolutionism and creationism or evolution and creation.

Note also the special pleading by comparing evolution and creationISM. The Atheists push hard to control the message so that no one finds this out. The scientific evidence is on the side of creation and God. Not only that, but this is also a straw man argument. Not amazingly, this is typical of ungodly websites (and there are many) that are teaching logic. Believe it or not, this quote came from a website that is about logical fallacies.

However, this Atheist is using circular reasoning and writing about logic. However, if the Almighty God is the One Who's now enforcing all of what we call the laws of science and if He's indeed the source of all the laws of logic, wisdom, knowledge and understanding, then what? And, we know, by revelation that the Creator, God Almighty is the only reason for the laws of science. If there were no Almighty God, it would make perfect sense to say that Almighty God couldn't do anything. This comment presupposes what it's trying to prove. вЂњIn reality, evolution explains all of the evidence found regarding the diversity of life on Earth, where creationism explains none of it, instead replacing an explanation with вЂGod itвЂ™, a decidedly non-explanation.вЂќ Examples of the Logical Fallacy of Begging the Question/Circular Reasoning It is not to try to evade answering a question. To assume as true the very point that is under discussion More often, different terminology is used or the assumption isn't even stated but is a prerequisite of one of the premises. Sometimes, the same word or phrase is used in the premise and in the conclusion, making the fallacy obvious. The rocks are used to date the fossils and the fossils are used to date the rocks. That is why it's called circular reasoning. The premise and conclusion are one and the same. Begging the question usually uses valid logic in that the conclusion always follows from the premise, since the conclusion is simply the premise re-stated. This is assuming the conclusion as a starting point, then working logic to arrive back at the conclusion. The logical fallacy of begging the question / circular reasoning occurs when the conclusion, the very thing that is in question, is assumed in a premise. Circular reasoning is one of the three unhappy possibilities of Agrippa's trilemma. Science is limited only to pragmatic thinking because of the weakness of human reasoning, which is known as Agrippa's trilemma. Without Divine revelation, neither logic nor math can be known. Some have claimed that only logic and math can be known however, that's not true.

These three possibilities are infinite regression, circular reasoning, or axiomatic thinking. All human thought (without Divine revelation) is based on one of three unhappy possibilities. Whenever a logical fallacy is committed, the fallacy has its roots in Agrippa's Trilemma.
