2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!
Donations so far: $8765.50Goal: $10000

Are there real examples of this which are relevant to our mission? I don't think anyone would argue that all fish have hair or all humans have fins. WeaseloidWeaselly.jpgMethinks it is a Weasel 07:31, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

Equivocation, for one, is very common in theistic and creationist circles. Documenting improper logic probably inherently falls under the mission, though. Sir ℱ℧ℤℤϒℂᗩℑᑭƠℑᗩℑƠ (talk/stalk) 12:21, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
First cause arguments come to mind.
P1: All events are causally connected.
P2: Causal chains have to start somewhere. No infinite regress for me, baby!
C1: There has to be a God!
Me: Wow, that God really came out of nowhere. 141.134.75.236 (talk) 14:28, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
