Logical Fallacy of Confusing Contradiction with Contrariety
The fallacy of confusing contradiction with contrariety occurs when something, because of lack of knowledge or understanding, seems to be a contradiction, but, in fact, is not a contradiction.
Examples of the Logical Fallacy of Confusing Contradiction with Contrariety
"If God is good, then how can there be evil in the world?"
Following Christ is a life of both extraordinary joy and peace on the one hand and sorrow and persecution on the other. There is no contradiction, even though we sometimes don’t fully understand God’s purposes.
How can we know anything about anything? That’s the real question
