The Fallacy of Argument from Personal Incredulity

“It's a form of the fallacy of ignorance.  The fallacy occurs when someone argues that something cannot be true because he or she cannot understand it, or it seems too strange.  An evolutionist might say, "How could God really create in six days?  That's far too short!"  But no actual rational reason is provided.  Or "I don't understand why God would allow pain and suffering to exist if He has the power to stop it.  Therefore, God does not exist."  But just because a person cannot understand the reason why God does something doesn't remotely mean that God has no reason, or that God doesn't exist." - Dr. Jason Lisle
