What is this? Name that fallacy

[Ferrocyanide]

brewer also posted an example of this same thing in the stupid stuff religious people say thread(in fact, it made me remember my trouble defining what this is).



So, what is this called? Help a guy out. Is it circular reasoning? Is it confirmation bias?

Confirmation bias.

I think confirmation bias means that you look at the set of data and you cherry pick parts of the data that supports your view and you dump the rest instead of including the entire data set in your research.


This sounds like that texas shooter thing Simon Moon mentioned.
It takes the form of:
This is the result, therefore, this is evidence that god did it.

It also sounds like a tautology:

(A V not A) -> C

Person 1 is alive or Person 1 is dead, therefore god exists.
When you evaluate the (A V not A) part, it is always TRUE.
Under no circumstances it becomes FALSE.
