Many of our ideas about the world are based more on feelings than facts, sensibilities than science, and rage than reality. We gravitate toward ideas that make us feel comfortable in areas such as religion, politics, philosophy, social justice, love and sex, humanity, and morality. We avoid ideas that make us feel uncomfortable. This avoidance is a largely unconscious process that affects our judgment and gets in the way of our ability to reach rational and reasonable conclusions. By understanding how our mind works in this area, we can start embracing uncomfortable ideas and be better informed, be more understanding of others, and make better decisions in all areas of life.

This is fallacious as even from a purely conceptual standpoint, it makes no sense. If A implies that B is false, if A is false, that doesn’t necessarily mean B is false as well. If General Relativity is false, then it’s clause about Newtonian Gravity doesn’t mean anything as GR is false. They don’t affect each other unless one of them is true.
