By not answering that question, you have proven my point. If you go and look up what an argument from personal credulity is, you just might realize how completely you just confirmed your own foolishness.

BTW, you are now presenting a perfect example of an argument from the fallacy of negative proof... but do not feel bad. You are just one of many who do that here.

I keep advising the naturalist/evolutionist proponents that it helps to have at least a basic understanding of critical-thinking skills to avoid presenting fallacious arguments in favor of evolution lest they confirm their foolishness. Alas, they continue to ignore me.

The problem is that the author presents zero, absolutely no evidence to support his assertion. So since he simply will not see any other alternative explanation because of his ignorance/misunderstanding/bias/belief that is what makes this a textbook example of an argument from personal incredulity.

It is too complicated for me to understand, so that proves that God did it is not a valid argument.

What evidence do you have of me presenting a fallacy of negative proof argument?
