Logical Fallacies
The Straw-man Fallacy
This can be considered a subclass of the Irrelevant Thesis fallacy. This is when a person misrepresents the position of his opponent, and then argues against this counterfeit (“straw man”) position. Usually an evolutionist would claim that a creationist will not teach or accept science when in fact creationist simply reject that evolution is a scientifically supported hypothesis.
