Science derives from the philosophy: it's all about epistemology. If you would read the flat Earth thread, you would see extensive discussion into the root of human knowledge and what makes something a credible belief, including lengthy discussion on principles of reason, not just the cold hard science.LogicExplorer wrote: ↑Sat Dec 02, 2017 1:53 pm Based on what I've seen, I'd say that a common logical fallacy here is basing oneself too much on empricism and too little on reasoning.
LogicExplorer, do you believe the Earth is flat? Do you think this is a conclusion you can reach with "reasoning"? And are you against science? If so, why?LogicExplorer wrote: ↑Sat Dec 02, 2017 1:53 pmThinking that the Earth is flat is a perfect example of that. Do you agree?
It's unclear what you're claiming to be a fallacy, but you either have read very little here or you don't know anything about philosophy or logic.
