To clarify, The circumstantial fallacy (An appeal to bias) is only a fallacy when one suggests that if one source is biased, it must be wrong. Though if you want to see if this is, "similar". If you want to learn about religions from academic, scholarly and objective sources that are not, "biased" that is completely fine because bias can have a lower probability of accuracy potentially. If that is what you choose to do, then no it is not a fallacy because it's probabilistically correct even thought you could still find biased sources that say the truth. Though as far as I am aware, in an argument if you rejected a source because it is, "biased" then this would be the genetic fallacy . |
