It doesn't even rise to the level of an argument so long as it's an appeal to a category error and subsequent inconsistencies. I'd call it a screen for belief, more than anything. Always fascinated me, because there;s really no need to go through the trouble of an argument. Bible says it, I believe it, end of...right?
Some literalists believe that their faiths are being co-opted from within. By arguments, by science. Batshit as they are, I think they got it right on that one. Used to be enough to say the above, now people seem intent on convincing themselves and others through science or reason...what is to be taken as true -by faith-.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
