Argumentum ad ignorantiam Argumentum ad ignorantiam means "argument from ignorance." The fallacy occurs when it's argued that something must be true, simply because it hasn't been proved false. |

I believe it's reasonable to think that humans can't know everything that's knowable. Nowhere did I assert believe of something that lacks evidence, except for things being "unknowable" to humans, which you either believe or you don't. |

From encarta.msn.com (search for "brain"): The brain makes us conscious, emotional, and intelligent. Broca's area, a part of the cortex related to speech, is located in the frontal lobe. Wernicke's area, a part of the cortex related to the understanding of language, is located in the temporal lobe. Many other areas of the cerebral cortex have also been mapped according to their specific functions, such as vision, hearing, speech, emotions, language, and other aspects of perceiving, thinking, and remembering. Cortical regions known as associative cortex are responsible for integrating multiple inputs, processing the information, and carrying out complex responses. |
