== Common use of logical fallacies ==
Atheists commonly use logical fallacies in their arguments. One of the most common logical fallacies they employ is the [[fallacy of exclusion]]. For example, the [[evolution]]ist Dr. Scott Todd, an immunologist at [[Kansas State University]], wrote: "Even if all the data point to an [[Intelligent design|intelligent designer]], such an hypothesis is excluded from science because it is not [[naturalism|naturalistic]]".<ref>http://creation.com/a-designer-is-unscientificeven-if-all-the-evidence-supports-one</ref>
