A Logical Proof

February 18, 2009

Premise 1: God is all-knowing
Premise 2: If x knows of y, x must expect y

If God is all-knowing, God must know of the Spanish Inquisition
If God knows of the Spanish Inquisition, God must expect the Spanish Inquisition

Therefore:
God expects the Spanish Inquisition

Premise 3: Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition

Therefore:
God is Nobody.

Ergo:
God does not exist

Except that when people say that nobody expects the Spanish inquisition, that's not quite true. It's only a popular saying. Quite frankly, there are a number of situations where I would personally expect the Spanish inquisition... if only as a reference on a history test.

Well duh, Jas, it's not an actual proof.

The premises aren't the problem though; it's quite possible to have false premises and still a sound argument. There is a problem with the logic in this one, of course...
