Proving that Guns Do Not Exist

All The World's An Evolutionist Oxymoron


Evolutionism is a contradiction in terms.  If it can be described meaningfully, it must logically be a false cosmology; if it were a true cosmology, it could never be described.  Moreover, none reading these sentences could make any sense of them.  If, however, they have meaning to the reader, evolutionism is thereby revealed to be bunkum. 

Linguist Vern Poythress explains why this is the case:

Each person who uses language relies on language rules.  Many of the rules he knows tacitly, without having them explicitly taught in a classroom.  He may not be able to formulate what the rules are, but he shows that he knows them by his usage.  For example, if he has begun to learn English, he knows that the word "banana" describes a certain kind of fruit.  He knows that "moved" is the past tense form of the verb "move."  He knows that in making a declaration, the subject precedes the verb: "The cat is on the mat."  He knows that in a question some form of helping verb or some question word precedes the subject."   "Is the cat on the mat?"  He knows that in a noun phrase with a definite article ("the"), the words occur in a certain, fixed order: "The three large cats" is acceptable, while "Large cats three this" is not.

He knows these rules even if he uses languages to deny that we can know anything, or to deny that we can know about language rules.  The rules are indispensable.  Vern Poythress, In the Beginning Was the Word.  Language--A God-Centred Approach  (Wheaton, Ill.: Crossway Books, 2009), p.60f.]

Evolutionism argues (using rules of language and logic) that the cosmos is ruled by no rules.  Everything is ultimately and substantially stochastic or chaotic or random.  Laws, rules, and patterns are false mirages, disconnected from reality.  Thus, evolution is compromised from the very start as being hopelessly self-contradictory.  Any evolutionist who uses language to argue the contrary or deploys logic in the attempt to establish his case represents an oxymoron.  It is as madcap as the chap who shoots his opponent with a Tikka T3 hunting rifle to prove that guns do not exist.
