- Archeologists found the remains of a boat from Jesus’ time.
- So the Bible is true.
- Therefore, God exists.
They are indeed legion.
Even though this is humour I’m replying anyway. 
1) Archeologists found the remains of a boat from Jesus' time. 2) So the Bible is true. 3) Therefore, God exists.
Yeah but archeologists also found a whole buttload of other shit that proves the bible is false.
archealogists found pasta meals fossilized in Pompeii’s ashes, thus the Flying Spaghetti Monster (sauce be upon him) is real
While we’re being serious, what “boat from Jesus’ time” are they on about? The best-known boat in the bible is of course Noah’s Ark. That was roughly two-and-a-half millennia before Jesus’ time if we accept the biblical accounts and timelines… :
As humorous as the syllogism might be, it’s just the kind of “argument” that believers often make in all seriousness.
What archaeologists haven’t found is equally telling, namely 4,000-year-old remains of humans who lived to be over 900 years old.

- Mud exists
- Pigs & coconuts exist
- Therefore, Pikkiwoki exists.
What about the argument from Teleo:
1. You believe conciousness is an illusion 2. Athiest: No I don't. 3. You do. 4. Therefore God exists.
?!? Does not compute. Does not compute.
Or the theological one:
[ol]- God exists and has the properties I say he does.
- Therefore, god exists and has the properties I say he does.[/ol]
'Luthon64
Do you mean the Teleological one?
No, no, the theological one (or theo-illogical one if you prefer). Admittedly, it’s been used Teleologically (or Teleo-illogically if you prefer) quite a bit, so the confusion’s understandable.
The argument may be more familiar in the following guise:
[ol]- I can fabricate stuff.
- Therefore, god exists and has the properties I say he does.[/ol]
'Luthon64
- i’ts my party
- and i’ll cry if i want to
Stop … stop … my head hurts. Argh!
Hey, that suggests a new one. Let’s call it the Argument from Bafflement:
[ol]- There’s stuff that’ll make your head hurt when you think about it.
- Therefore, god exists and has the properties I say he does.[/ol]
'Luthon64
…and you’ll always find me in the kitchen at parties!
Incontrovertible!
In the name of the pigs, the coconuts, and Pikkiwoki, one god, world without end, RAmen.
- sausages exists
- sausages are yummy
- therefore God exists
You’re on shaky philosophical grounds here. You might have a sossige machine, but can it produce sossiges???
why else would I have a sossige machine??
It has the potentiality to produce the most fabulous sossiges conceivable. necessarily so. contingent on nothing whatsoever which makes it more fabulouser than the parts that make up the whole. synergy is the buzzword.
Ah, but does it exhibit sossige agency? Sossige intentionality? Does it produce sossiges by natural selection?
