Spot the Fallacy! (Logic Games)

[Zeeshan]

Blah, shaad heck even goru would've pwnd this thread. Why do I have a feeling that all the atheists are really the smart ones? <-- Now isn't that a fallacious conclusion by itself!

I think it'd be a fun thread of logic games. Since the whole lot of you like to kaijja in public forums, this will definitely sharpen up your art of rhetoric and will help you to become adept at finding faulty reasonings.

Here are some useful links:

42 Fallacies (http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/)
List of Fallacies (Wikipedia) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fallacies)
Fallacy Files (http://www.fallacyfiles.org/)

(sometimes they may overlap)

1. Bradman has a Test average of 99.94 in 52 matches. Therefore, if he were to play the next game he would most likely score 90+.

2. All terrorists are Muslims. Abu is Muslim. Therefore, Abu is a terrorist.

Spot the fallacy.

1. Appeal to probability
2. Argument from fallacy

1. God exists because bible says so. Bible is true because it's the word of god.
2. If evolution is wrong, creationism is right.

Zee vai doesn't have a GF.
Gay people don't have GF.
Zee vai is gay ;D

For the second one you can use Modus Ponens. As both p and p->q are not true; then q cannot be true.

Zee vai doesn't have a GF.
Gay people don't have GF.

That's not a fallacy. That's a fact.
