Today’s quote is from a section about how people try to use ignorance to prove their points. If God didn’t exist, you would have to be all-knowing to know anything. You would have to know everything about everything or you could be wrong about anything. However, when God reveals Himself to you, He begins to lead and teach you. He reveals that He knows everything and He can’t lie. What He reveals to you is true. If your fallen mind adds some error to what God has shown you, God will correct you as you come to Him in humility and open your mind to His correction.

“Prove me wrong.”

Here, the persuader presents his or her pet theory. The theory may be theological, scientific, political, or anything else. After presenting the pet theory, which may be as short as a single sentence, the persuader says, “Prove me wrong.” The persuader implies the claim is true unless you prove the persuader wrong. The persuader may imply or openly express the “prove me wrong” part. When anyone makes a bare claim, that person implies the claim is true unless someone can prove it’s false. Sometimes, a persuader will make the claim and then say, “Prove me wrong.” Sometimes, the persuader will state the fallacy plainly by saying, “Unless you can disprove my claim, my claim stands.” You might choose not to play the game. You don’t want to argue. The persuader then thinks your lack of a willingness to argue “proves” the pet theory. If you do engage, the persuader rejects anything you say and uses that rejection as “proof” of the pet theory. If you say the theory is speculative, the persuader sees that as “proof” of the pet theory.
