I would be happy to expand.
The fallacy is this; We both agree that the Bible is not the literal divine word of god, nor is it a scientifically accurate document. But we take different assumptions from that fact. I think that they have mis-characterized the supreme being, that they are incorrect about god (although that incorrectness is an opinion, not a fact). You guys have come to the conclusion that because the bible is not the word of god, there is no god. So while I am saying that the Fundamentalist literal creationists are wrong about god, you are saying that they are right. In the sense that only discounting one version of god does not an atheist make. There are a lot of ideas about god, and I tried to disprove them all as an atheist years ago, and failed. It is not possible to disprove 6,000,000,000 versions of an idea.
The fallacy lies in the fact that we both think the creationists are wrong. I think they are wrong, so I keep looking for something that is right. You think they are wrong, so there is no god. That means that in as much as they are wrong, they are right, because after disproving them the battle is over.
Make sense?
