I mean yes, but that logic is pretty awful. By that logic, there's no way creationism and evolution could both be right, so they both must be wrong.
Edit: yes yes I fucking get it. This was just me being pedantic about some guy's statement, no need to get your fedoras in a knot.
Evolution is an observed phenomenon studied for over a hundred years. Creationism is not. Your comparison is erroneous.
"The most reasonable conclusion..." meaning absent all other evidence, the only conclusion that has any merit is that all creation myths are wrong.
Yes. I know. This isn't an actual comment about creationism and evolution. I'm talking about how "there's disagreement, therefore everyone's wrong" is a horrible line of thinking.
It's not just the disagreement, it's the fact that there's no evidence for any of their contradicting claims.
We're dissecting the logic of the quote, not arguing against evolution.
Indeed. But the quote is specifically referring to religions. Applying it to anything else is disingenuous unless he ever applied it to anything else (because it is indeed a flawed premise).
