One example would be fallacy of negation. Fallacy of negation is when argument A is false and if Argument A is false then it makes Argument B true. The book “Of Pandas and People,” claimed that due to the gaps in the fossil record, it must have been created by an intelligent designer. The defendants did not challenge the theory of evolution to see if it was true in regards to the fossil record. The statement from an expert witness on the case, paleontologist Kevin Padian, mentioned that the arguments in book about the fossil record are false. Another illegitimate form of argumentation would be arguments from ignorance. Arguments from ignorance is when a person thinks a theory is wrong because it cannot be explained. Dr. Behe coined the term irreducible complexity, and thought it was true since it could not be proven otherwise. This example is an argument from ignorance irreducible complexity cannot be disproved, but that doesn’t make it
