Working on an article: Divine Fallacy

Hello everyone!
Divine fallacy From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The divine fallacy is an informal fallacy that often happens when people say something must be the result of superior, divine, alien or supernatural cause because it is unimaginable for it not to be so.[1]

A similar fallacy, known as argument from incredulity, appeal to common sense, or personal incredulity,[2] asserts that because something is so incredible or difficult to imagine it is wrong. Also the person with divine fallacy can tends to exaggerate the evidence with superficial fact which is often is false without actual proof, similar to exaggerate the gods' power.[6] Arguments from incredulity are called non sequiturs.[3] Arguments from incredulity can take the form:


 * 1) I cannot imagine how P could possibly be true; therefore P must be false.

2. I cannot imagine how P could possibly be false; therefore P must be true.[4]

Arguments from incredulity happen when people make their inability to comprehend or make sense of a concept their argument.[5]
