An atheist might employ a false dilemma fallacy  by asserting, "You must either accept evolution  

and reject all religious teachings, or deny  science entirely and live in ignorance." 

This statement presents an overly simplistic  choice, implying that accepting scientific  

theories like evolution is fundamentally  incompatible with any religious belief. 

It ignores the many individuals who  reconcile their religious faith with  

scientific understanding, and the  various religious interpretations  

that do not conflict with scientific discoveries. By framing the debate as an either/or scenario,  

it dismisses the nuanced positions many hold that  blend scientific knowledge with spiritual beliefs.
