Faulty logic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_authority If you were to get rid of all external religious systems, and purge them, would you end up with the forum not needing moderators to keep out troubled individuals? No. |
If the authority is an expert in an area relevant to the subject at hand, you can then reference what the authority says. In this case, the presumption here is that an eternal being, who has a monster set of knowledge, creates the universe. This entity is said to know about the universe s/he created. This entity then would be of said to explains the do's and don'ts regarding the universe at hand. Thus, in this case, the entity would be superior with a set of ethics proposed than individuals in the system, who have an incomplete set of information.
