Cherry picking one detail that's false and applying it to entire story is a strawman argument. There are thousands bits of history and science people initially got wrong which have proven to be true and vice versa
Good observation. I didnโt mention it, but youโre right. Itโs a strawman. Or a hasty generalization. Either works.
But what is crucial is we donโt know for certain the sun was made or moved into place first because we canโt know unless we go back in time to see every moment of creation.
So, the issue is not only a logical fallacy, itโs also unfalsifiable and therefore moot.
Great read! I appreciate the calm, reasoning tone.
Thatโs what I always aim for. Too many get bent out of shape these days. We need a return to calm reasoning.
Much food for thought here. Thank you for writing.
