<quote from Real Faith & Reason, vol 2>
Can humans receive knowledge through theories? Not directly. Trying to get knowledge from theories is equivalent to trying to get knowledge from human imagination. Here’s the trouble. Made-up stuff isn’t reliable and can’t result in knowing. On the other hand, God can reveal a vision of reality that goes beyond what we observe. This divine revelation isn’t a theory. It’s a revelation.
Making a story elaborate and detailed doesn’t prove the story happened. Even if the majority of an elite group believes the story, that proves nothing. Here are five common fallacies of pseudoscience. Making up a story is a fallacy of axiomatic thinking. Making up a story to match the observations and then claiming to have proved the story because the story matches the observations is circular reasoning. Adding details and making the story elaborate is a misleading-vividness fallacy. Appealing to the majority and appealing to the minority are both fallacies. While pseudo-scientists use many fallacies, these five are major tools they use repeatedly.
Theories aren’t a method for knowing since we can’t know anything by speculating beyond what we can observe.
