The so called argument of Incredulity. Nope. Saying something is wrong because we don't know or can't prove it right (or just react incredulously to the assertion) is an argument from incredulity. Saying we don't know because we don't know is just being accurate. Saying "we don't know if X is correct", is not saying "X is incorrect". The creationists typically do assert that evolution is incorrect. Also they are wrong when they argue that we don't know if its basic points are correct. I'm not wrong when I point out that we don't know future temperatures. Not just that we don't know exactly what they will be but that we don't have a very good idea of what they will be.
