Thanks.
Although Confirmation bias is not technically a logical fallacy. But what people are also using during Confirmation bias is Ad hoc rescue, like when that psychic Ingo Swann claimed to have visited spiritually Jupiter, describing it as a sand planet, and when it was discovered that it was a gas planet, he gave an Ad hoc rescue that he was in another star system - so that he can still have a status of a psychic.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
