Evolution Disproved By Logic:

1. Either Creationism or Evolution is true.

2. No human now living or who has ever lived, was ever born of non human parents.

3. No human now living or who has ever lived, was transformed into a human after being born human.

4. Therefore, man did not evolve and evolution is not true.

5. Therefore, Creationism is true.

An explanatory note: There are two kinds of differences: a difference in kind or type, and a difference in degree. A change from non-human to human is NOT a difference in degree, as some would claim. It is cleary rather a change in type, thus my argument in paragraphs 2 and 3.

Your #3 is true. The rest needs work.

My dear BS, I will deal with your syllogism ["Evolution Disproved By Logic"] in greater detail than my last post:

1. Either Creationism or Evolution is true.

Fundamentally flawed. Both could be false. Evolution could be falsified, but that certainly doesn't mean that creationism automatically becomes true. Creationism must stand on its own.

2. No human now living or who has ever lived, was ever born of non human parents.

That's the conclusion you're trying to reach. No fair smuggling it in as a premise.

3. No human now living or who has ever lived, was transformed into a human after being born human.

Obviously true, and no one claims otherwise.

4. Therefore, man did not evolve and evolution is not true.

Totally unproven.

5. Therefore, Creationism is true.

Yeah, right.
