Fallacies

What is a fallacy?

From Wikipedia:

A fallacy or sophism is a logically incorrect reasoning, although psychologically it can be persuasive, as defined by [Irving Copi] (http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irving_Copi).

It should be clarified that fallacious reasoning does not necessarily have a false conclusion; just as correct reasoning does not necessarily have a true conclusion. The criticism of an argument has no relation to the validity of its conclusion. Fallacious reasoning is not “fallacious” because it reaches a false conclusion, but because of an error in its procedure. It could be said that a fallacy is reasoning in which the conclusion is not derived strictly from the premises, although it seems to do so.

This section will list the types of fallacies, dedicating a page to each identifiable pattern, so that we can make discussions or comments for each case. -

Bibliographic and reference sources

Reference and reference bibliography used for the project

A quick search on the Web for a list of fallacies shows that there are different ways to classify and order them, and that even some sources include some and not others .-

So we have, for example, a list from [a creationist site] (http://www.sedin.org/propesp/X0026_2-.htm), and another list from [a skeptical site] (http://www.arp-sapc.org/alojadas/falacias1.html), another list [on Wikipedia] (http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falacia), another list from [a site about atheism] (http://ateismo.ws/falacias/falacias.html), and so on.
