Circular reasoning - Circular reasoning
A vicious circle is a type of fallacy that uses the facts to be proven as the basis for an argument. For example, "That which is the word of God is true. That which is written in the Bible is the word of God. The Bible says that the Bible is the word of God. Therefore, it is true that the Bible is the word of God."
