Remember, the human mind can’t be trusted.

You find bad logic in sources that supposedly teach logic or critical thinking. Those sources should be examples of rational thought, but they’re filled with irrational thinking. They forget to talk about the true premise. Not only that, but they have clever substitutes for truth. Here’s an example of this kind of teaching I found online:

All reasoning is based on DATA, INFORMATION and EVIDENCE. Restrict your claims to those supported by the data you have. Search for information that opposes your position as well as information that supports it. Make sure that all information used is clear, accurate, and relevant to the question at issue. Make sure you have gathered sufficient information.

There’s nothing wrong with this statement on the surface. Every part is helpful. However, it misses some vital conditions.

First, not all reasoning is based on data, information, and evidence. Go to any discussion group, and you’ll see a lot of reasoning but very little that’s based on data, information, or evidence. Mostly, you see bare claims and smokescreen fallacies. You see logical fallacies are strongly stated bare claims. Most people don’t even try to bring in data, information, or evidence. They may use magic words like “data,” “information,” “evidence,” or “science.” However, they don’t show you even a mirage of any data, information, or evidence. They just use the words as magic words. They have phantom data, phantom information, and phantom evidence. They might have phantom science. Then, they pretend they have shown you data, information, evidence, or science. They didn’t really show it. They only said the magic words.

Second, even if someone does present a premise, you’ll find a problem with the premise. The problem is the premise is not true. The premise may consist of data, information, and evidence interpreted in ways that go beyond the rules of logic. If you ask people how they know their premise is true, they may say, “I saw it on CNN” or “I saw it on Fox News.” They might say, “Everyone believes this.” They may say other people told them, they read it in a book, or they saw it in a movie. They may give some other unreliable reason you should believe them.

Remember, the human mind can’t reason to truth. It can’t be trusted. It can only reason to opinions. No one can get outside of himself or herself to observe objectively. Everyone is biased. Only one Person knows the Truth, is the Truth, tells only the Truth, and cannot lie. His name is Jesus.
