Science, Creation & EvolutionThe futility of debating Evolution vs. CreationARGUMENT FROM EXHAUSTION (abridged)
- Do you agree with the utterly trivial proposition X?
- Theist: of course.
- How about the slightly modified proposition X'?
- Theist: Um, no, not really.
- Good. Since we agree, how about Y? Is that true?
- Theist: No! And I didn't agree with X'!
- With the truths of these clearly established, surely you agree that Z is true as well?
- Theist: No. So far I have only agreed with X! Where is this going, anyway?
- I'm glad we all agree.....
- [Atheist goes on and on and on...]
- So now we have used propositions X, X', Y, Y', Z, Z', P, P', Q and Q' to arrive at the obviously valid point R. Agreed?
- Theist: Like I said, so far I've only agreed with X. Where is this going?
- [Atheist continues to go on and on and on...]
- So we now conclude from this that propositions L'', L''' and J'' are true. Agreed?
- I HAVEN'T AGREED WITH ANYTHING YOU'VE SAID SINCE X! WHERE IS THIS GOING!?
- [Still going...]
- ...and it follows that proposition HRV, SHQ'' and BTU' are all obviously valid. Agreed?
- [Theist either faints from overwork or leaves in disgust]
- Therefore, God doesn’t exist.

I had to chuckle when I found this on Tekton Apologetics Ministries. Comic Relief section. Most, if not all informed Christians understand speciation is evolution but does not prove what is sometimes called macroevolution. This also applies to debates regarding any secularists vs. fundamental Christianity since those who reject Christianity think they can overpower Christian faith with their many words.
