Proving PZ Myers Wrong

by tristero

Whenever I write about evolution, I tell creationists that I won’t respond to them until they have convinced PZ Myers over at Pharyngula that they have a scientifically valid point. When they do, I’m always happy to discuss anything they want. So far, no creationist has done so, nor do I expect any to. That is because PZ is one of the finest, and most knowledgeable, members of the science blogging community and understands exactly how ignorant and vacuous so-called arguments against the facts of evolution are.

But when PZ Myers is wrong, he’s wrong, and it is only appropriate to call him on it, but if you want to be taken seriously, you must demonstrate conclusively the error of his position. This I will now proceed to do. PZ writes:

Here’s what I say.

No entity — no matter how many tentacles it has — has a soul.

PZ Myers

I can count tentacles. I can’t count souls, and neither can anyone else.

Oh, really? I refute Dr. Myers thus:

That is one great soul. And tentacles aren’t even necessary.
