I've recently thought that the tactic of a creationist completely changing the subject to religion when they've run out of (or never had any) arguments based upon science should be given a formal term.

Post Hoc Ergo Scripture Hoc?

No, for a Christian to move to the Bible is no different from moving to a textbook- it is the truth to us. It's the best science there is. I'll take it over any textbook. 100% truth, it is.

This is similar to the "argument from authority" or the "argument from force" or the "argument from ignorance" or a "circular argument."

Bunch fallacies here.

I propose to call such arguments: "The Fallacy Hermeneutic Perspicuity."
