Argument from Ignorance

The Fallacy

Saying something is true just because nobody has proven it's false yet.

Why it's wrong

Just because we don't know the answer, doesn't mean you can make up any silly answer and call it true.

Example

Nobody has ever proven that the moon ISN'T made of cheese, so it must be made of cheese!
