Literary Fallacies

Well, I'm pretty sure I messed up on this before. So take two! I'm going to use Inherit the Wind.
Appeal to Authority: If religion is good enough for Matthew Harrison Brady, then it is good enough for the country.

The Fallacy Fallacy: Brady uses Texas Sharpshooter to point out facts that only work with creationism, not facts that go against it. Henry Drummond points out that he uses a fallacy, but then acts as if his error alone proves that creationism is wrong.

Genetic Fallacy-Brady assumes that because Drummond is an agnostic, he is immoral, so everything he believes in or does is tainted by this.

So, hopefully I did this right!
