But your *example* is nonsense. It is never either or.

Notice how many of his arguments are based on the either-or logical fallacy? Either you have lots of mutations or none. Either you have completely random mutation causing speciation or the theory of evolution is false. So far most of his points have been set up to be binary, with no recognition of third options. It will be interesting to see if this is the only intellectual format he can generate...

On the contrary, it's **NOT** a logical fallacy when it actually occurs (e.g. in the lab).

Selection pressures don't have to exist (e.g. in a zoo). There's no fallacy there.

Mutations can happen without selection pressures (e.g. in a lab that is creating pigs to produce human growth hormone).

Which is to say, my examples can't be logical fallacies. Fallacies don't happen. My examples do.
