| Appeal to Novelty |
Logical Fallacy of Appeal to Novelty / appeal to the New / Ad NovitamThe logical fallacy of appeal to novelty occurs when someone asserts that something is better or true simply because it is new. Some new things are good. Some are not. Some old things are good. Some are not. If we are walking with God, He is continually showing us new things, as He says to us, “Call to Me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things that you do not know.” Examples of the Logical Fallacy of Appeal to Novelty / appeal to the New / Ad NovitamPost Modernism brings along a belief that experience is not of any value. Only imagination and innovation has value. This is the logical fallacy of appeal to novelty. By the same reasoning, a college education is the biggest scam on the planet. It is a worthless document, except for the fact that it helps con employers into paying higher salaries to the people who have this document. Yet, the professors in the colleges who teach post modernism never seem to think about this.
The so-called new morality is now called "political correctness." It has many problems and causes many problems. It is based squarely on this an many other fallacies.

However, the only way that anyone can rationally say that anything is known is to have a basis of Divine revelation. For this reason, the only way to rationally say that the Bible is known to be the Word of God is to have Divine revelation as the basis. Divine revelation, of course, can be faked. Those who receive Divine revelation must stand in the Presence of God and inquire of Him until He speaks to them. 
How can we know anything about anything? That’s the real question |
