Neil DeGrasse Tyson on Disproving God

I did just say this. That is why I said that the ant needed to be sapient. Otherwise, your argument doesn't work, as it is not an appropriate comparison.

It is at this point that I really have to ask whether or not English is your first language. You seem to be having extreme issues with it.

It would, if the ant were capable of thinking and assessing evidence. Humans are, so unless you want to say that the hypothetical ant can also do so, the parallel doesn't work.

Of course, once you do that, you have to admit that the ant could actually learn what a human is, so the argument fails anyway - but then, that's not my problem, is it? It's not my argument.

You have not established it to be true. You do have to actually back up what you say, irontiger, if you want anyone to take you at all seriously.

And they couldn't establish it to be true either. 

So no one cares.
