Quora Answer: Is It a Logical Fallacy to Insist a Statement without Being Able to Prove It?

The following is my answer to a Quora question: “Is it a logical fallacy if you insist a statement is wrong, but cannot prove the statement is wrong? 

If you insist on something contrary to proof, or without basis, it is a non sequitur fallacy.  A non sequitur fallacy is an illogic where the evidence does not follow the premise, or outright contradicts it.  In this case, the deductive argument is rendered invalid on the basis of faulty reasoning, or even nonreasoning.
