An appeal to ignorance proposes that we accept the truth of a proposition unless an opponent can prove otherwise. Thus, for example:
No one has conclusively proven that there is no intelligent life on the moons of Jupiter.
Therefore, there is intelligent life on the moons of Jupiter.
But, of course, the absence of evidence against a proposition is not enough to secure its truth. What we don't know could nevertheless be so.

At this rate I will be covering each and every logical fallacy ever conceived of by the mind of man. It is like shooting fish in a barrel.
