Equivocation
Front
What is the fallacy of 'Equivocation'?
Back
Using the same word in two different senses within an argument. Example: 'Evolution is just a theory. Scientists say a theory is a well-substantiated explanation. Therefore, evolution is just an explanation.'
Explanation
In apologetics, words like 'faith,' 'proof,' or 'nothing' are often used equivocally, leading to confusion and invalid conclusions.
Source or basis: Logic (Lionel Ruby)
