Making a statement that implies totality, finality, or unequivocal certainty beyond what anyone can know
An absolute statement that goes beyond what God has revealed
Examples:
Evolution is a fact.
Even though evolutionists can’t prove it, they claim it dogmatically. That’s the allness fallacy.
Rocky Rockbuilder: You said that God doesn’t reveal anything to anyone. That conflicts with my experience and the experience of people I know who follow Christ. What makes you so sure of yourself?
Sandy Sandbuilder: I’m sure of the fact because there is no God.
Sandy Sandbuilder is certain but can’t give a rational reason for this certainty. A rational reason requires a true premise. Persuaders can’t rationally base their reasoning on any assumptions, stories, or other forms of made-up stuff no matter how emphatically they state the made-up stuff.
