Bill Nye Doesnt Exist
(An inductive argument)
Since there are a large number of true believers in induction, I decided to demonstrate, inductively, that Bill Nye doesnt exist.
Now the argument that Bill Nye doesnt exist is equivalent to the argument that the set of all (Bill Nye) does not intersect at any point with the set of all (things that exist). According the argument:
Bill Nye does not exist
is equivalent to the argument
Everything that exists is not Bill Nye.
In my life I have encountered billions of things. Think of all the air molecules I have breathed in and out during my life. Think of all the grains of sand I have seen. Think of all the people I have met. Think of all the molecules of water Ive seen as the ocean waves lapped over my feet. Think of all the amino acids my cells have made into proteins to make my body work. Think of all the stars Ive seen in the sky. Think of all the people Ive walked past, the animals Ive seen, and the insects Ive crushed.
Every single one of those things was not Bill Nye. Because of this, Bill Nyes non-existence is pretty much undeniable. Its nothing short of fact. If that weren't enough, I've also talked to several people in my office and all of them admit they've encountered billions of things in their lives and none of them was Bill Nye.
Now I know what youre thinking. Perhaps youll say that some people have seen Bill Nye or that pictures of him exist. Seriously, though, if I considered that kind of evidence, I might also have to accept that Moses saw JHWH in a burning bush, that Mohammed was visited by the Arch-angel Gabriel, that Joseph Smith saw golden plates, that Juan Diego saw the Virgin of Guadalupe, and that statues of Ganesha drink milk if given the opportunity.
Alternatively you can just admit that all of these billions of experiences are nothing more than affirming the consequent and mean absolutely nothing at all. By doing so you can not only admit that induction is nonsense but also learn how knowledge is really gained. The choice is yours.
