You don't know? Could it be that what you're trying to say is that you are unaware of and furthermore haven't a clue as to how one might go about, embark upon and commence creating and bringing into existent being a tautology?
Now, how many tautologies does it take or require to change and replace a lightbulb or in other words, a photon emitting vacuum tube?
As many as will fit, squeeze in, shoehorn or maneuver into a thesaurus. If you don't have or possess a thesaurus, use your synonym finder.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I don't know what I don't know.

Tautology: "I believe in God. I'm silly."
Creationists are like Slinkys: It's hard not to giggle when they tumble down the stairs.

I don't not know or understand what a tautology is, could someone explain or describe the concept to me.
