“I’m pointing out that you folks are (unknowingly) acting out tropes.”

Which is a meaningless point to make in a philosophical or scientific argument.

A great many literary tropes are excellent illustrations of fallacious reasoning.

"Intelligent Design" a.k.a. "A Wizard Did It!" is just another dodge or evasion.

I can solve any philosophical or scientific problem if, in the course of expounding upon my solution to my learned audience, I am allowed, at any point, to cry, "And here, a MIRACLE happens!"

It is the lazy man's "Get Out of Jail Free" card.
