The Lord shall laugh at him:
Psalm 37:13
"The assumption of universal common ancestry can lead to absurd
scientific reasoning.
Humans have culture.
Insects show cooperative behavior.
Therefore, human culture evolved from insect behavior.
Does that make sense? Can any scientist really compare those two things, and derive one from the other? They do it, but that doesn’t make it rational.
Extrapolation is a logical fallacy, and so is the non-sequitur." CEH
Extrapolation
Shifting the Burden of Proof
Definition: Forgetting that it is your responsibility to prove a claim, not your opponent’s to disprove it.
Catch-phrase: Hot potato.
Non-sequitur
a conclusion or statement that does not logically follow from the previous argument or statement.
