Contrastive Reasoning

<quote from Real Faith & Reason, vol 2>

Dr. Hunter says evolutionists depend on contrastive reasoning.

“Yet contrastive reasoning, evolutionists argue, proves evolution is a fact. This illustrates the tremendous importance of the role of contrastive reasoning.”

What is contrastive reasoning? It’s the Sherlock-Holmes fallacy.

Sherlock-Holmes Fallacy

(a.k.a. Process of Elimination)

A method of reasoning based on the process of elimination

Persuaders who commit Sherlock-Holmes fallacies try to find every possible explanation and disprove all but one. This system of reasoning has two severe problems. (1) We can’t know we’ve found every possible explanation. (2) We can’t know we aren’t biased in choosing which ones to rule out. Unless God reveals it, we would need to be omniscient to know for certain we had considered every possible explanation. Worse, we might eliminate explanations that disagree with our worldviews or favor explanations that agree with our worldviews.
