Argument from ignorance is a classic logical fallacy (e. g. i can't see how X was made, therefore it must have been Y).

But you really showed a fantastic example of self ownage right there buddy :) 

Don't worry, unlike you, I'm not coming here with the intent of owning anyone. I never once force my beliefs on other people, in fact I don't force my beliefs on myself either - meaning I keep an open mind because I realize I, as any human being, cannot know the ultimate truth to most of the mysteries in the universe. Sadly, some people will force their own beliefs as truth and will try to either ridicule or punish those who don't follow the same thought process, and that can be both extremist Catholic people, or atheists such as you... or other things, too. My point is, I would never say "I can't see how X was made, therefore it must have been Y" as you imply, but I can definitely say it "might have been Y".

Edit: also, sorry for the delayed response, I was busy playing a really awesome game about gods and demons.

ironic that you didn't want to "own" anything or anyone and you still owned yourself by assuming I was insulting someone with the name of a logic fallacy lol. then even more ironic you begin to insult me due to your own ignorance of the name of this fallacy :)

 

i didn't ridicule and didn't punish anyone for thinking differently, i have no idea why you would have that impression just from me being an atheist. being an atheist only means i'm noy buying what others are selling, nothing else. 

 

and finally on the only on topic point you brought, yeah it "might" have been Y, but first you would need to demonstrate Y is even real. that logical fallacy isn't only applied to religious debates, could be as simple as "i can't see how that person knew I had a brother, he must be psychic"
