In Latin maxim it means "false in one thing, false in everything".
The fallacy of irrelevant conclusion, also known as the "Ignoratio Elenchi" (ignorance of the proof) fallacy, in effect, the parent of all other fallacies since every fallacy yields a conclusion that even if true is not related to the premises of the proof argument.
Many of the current assertions cannot claim any status other than that of speculative assumptions at best that cannot be disproven!
- The Sun will likely engulf Earth in about 7.59 billion years.
- Stars like our Sun burn for about nine or 10 billion years.
- Earth 'will expire by 2050.
- Anatomically modern humans emerged around 300,000 years ago in Africa.
- While our ancestors have been around for about six million years, the modern form of humans only evolved about 200,000 years ago.
- Earth is about 4.5 billion years old.
- Scientists believe the moon formed during a giant impact about 60-175 million years after the solar system was born.
- Scientists have long estimated that the moon formed some 4.51 billion years ago.
- Today, the Moon is as dead as you can get, but scientists contend that this might not have been the case billions of years ago.
- Adam and Eve, according to the creation myth of the Abrahamic religions, were the first man and woman. Between 9,800 and 9,700 years ago is an accurate date of creation for Adam and Eve
- To this end, the typical debate is very short because science has conclusively proven that there were people prior to the Adam and Eve deadline.
- Scientific evidence shows that the physical and behavioral traits shared by all people originated from apelike ancestors and evolved over a period of approximately 6 million years. One of the earliest defining human traits, bipedalism -- the ability to walk on two legs -- evolved over 4 million years ago.

- With ~2 trillion galaxies within our observable Universe, we can extrapolate our Universe's planetary total. There are ~1025 planets that orbit stars, with some ~1026-1030 additional starless planets.
- There are millions and millions of planets in the universe. If you like big numbers, the exact number is around 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000!
