[QUOTE="pitabread, post: 73184143, member: 394892"] Appeal to authority fallacy is when someone uses expertise in one field to support expertise in another. For example, using the opinion of a lawyer, engineer or chemist in matters of biology would be an appeal to authority. However, using an appropriately credentialed individual for their area of expertise is a not an appeal to authority fallacy. For example using a lawyer for a legal opinion or an engineer for matters of engineering. Or in the case of biological evolution, a biologist. Scientific theories are by definition well-supported by evidence. This idea they are just "faith" is a creationist myth. Because creationists can't deal with the evidence to support ideas in science, many just pretend it just doesn't exist. This is why someone like Todd Wood is so refreshing. In them you have a creationist who is honestly willing to face what they are up against instead of pretending. [/QUOTE]
