Detecting design or intent in nature

[bennyboy]

Making shit up! It's easier and faster than science, and no pesky fallacies to worry about. No research, no knowledge needed. Just make it up, and you're home and dry. And don't worry, they can't prove you wrong (unless you go a bit too far...) so you must be right. Come to our "making it up" class, and get your certificate in just 5 minutes.

Now, now!

Let's be fair here. I think from the length and quality of Heywood's post that it's clear he has spent a great deal of effort in making it the best possible made-up shit that he can. I mean, he's come up with at least a half dozen ways in which basic set theory isn't what everyone knows it to be, and in which his unsupported assertions about Sky Daddy seem logical to him. He's also managed to accuse others of logical fallacies that he is so clearly guilty of that the hypocrisy ripples through all of reality.

That's quite an achievement, and he should be applauded for it.
