All truth is in Christ. No truth is outside of Christ. That’s why ungodly thinkers depend on bare claims and arguments from ignorance.

Ignorance as a Way of Knowing

How could ignorance be a way of knowing? You might be surprised that ignorance is one of the most common ways persuaders use when they’re trying to know truth. Of course, ignorance doesn’t work for finding truth.

The fallacy is “ad ignorantiam.” It’s also known as an “argument from ignorance.” Many people use this fallacy. Argument-from-ignorance fallacies deceive those who use them and make them believe they have obtained knowledge when they haven’t. Argument-from-ignorance fallacies rank right up with the fallacy of making bare claims as a supposed way of knowing. Often, the argument from ignorance works in the form of an “ad ignorantiam question.” If you go out to the discussion groups, you’ll find two methods of reasoning at work in almost all cases. The first is the bare claim, and the second is the ad ignorantiam question. Often, the ad ignorantiam questions are also loaded questions.

Typical Ad Ignorantiam Questions

“Why isn’t there any evidence for God’s existence?”

“If God is good, why is there evil in the world?”

There is evidence for God’s existence, so the first question is loaded. It’s also an ad ignorantiam question. With both questions, when you answer the question, the person asking the question won’t accept any answer you give. The questions aren’t real questions. They’re statements disguised as questions. They make a claim. The unsound logic is: “If you can’t answer this question, my claim is true.”
