Clivebaby attempts a refutation of biological evolution with.....C.S. Lewis and the metric system! Brilliant!
Or this could just be another case of Clive being butthurt at the thought of reality being relative. His entire argument is just a TARDy re-wording of the moral dilemma. If there's no objective morals, then blah blah blah, you can fill in the rest.
At least I think that's what he's doing, it's fucking hard to tell. For example, this:
| Quote | | What is outside the circle of evolution that is used to compare evolution to? If all living things evolved, what are we using to determine that against? Something has to exist to be used as a basis for comparison that isn’t itself the thing being compared. |
The fuck does this even mean? That's like saying "What is outside the circle of [insert any biological term ever.....metabolism / photosynthesis / fetal devlopment / etc.] that is used to compare [same term] to?"
HOLY SHIT! How can we determine gravity if there's nothing outside of gravity to compare it to! Gravity is a tautology! LHJDO:NIGONQ{NA{F!
He's the Grand Poo-Bah of WTF posts.
