coining a fallacy.
Plantinga’s Fallacy Claiming that if S fails to have
evidence for her belief that p, then S either doesn’t know p, or is
irrational/unjustified in believing p.
Example:
“What’s your evidence that human persons have intrinsic moral worth?”
“I have none.”
“Then you don’t know that they do.”
“You just committed Plantinga’s Fallacy”
“Who the ef is Plantinga?”
“I have none.”
“Then you don’t know that they do.”
“You just committed Plantinga’s Fallacy”
“Who the ef is Plantinga?”
