[QUOTE="Diamond Cross, post: 5421941, member: 51024"] Hmmm... arguments for the existence of Gnomes.... COSMOLOGICAL ARGUMENT, a.k.a. FIRST CAUSE ARGUMENT (I) (1) If I say something must have a cause, it has a cause. (2) I say the universe must have a cause. (3) Therefore, the universe has a cause. (4) Therefore, Gnomes exists. ONTOLOGICAL ARGUMENT (II) (1) I can conceive of a perfect Gnome. (2) One of the qualities of perfection is existence. (3) Therefore, Gnomes exists. ARGUMENT FROM MIRACLES (I) (1) My aunt had cancer. (2) The doctors gave her all these horrible treatments. (3) My aunt sacrificed a goat to the Gnomes and now she doesn't have cancer. (4) Therefore, Gnomes exists. ARGUMENT FROM UNINTELLIGENCE (1) Okay, I don't pretend to be as intelligent as you guys — you're obviously very well read. But I read the DMG, and nothing you say can convince me that Gnomes do not exist. I feel them in my heart, and you can feel them too, if you'll just ask them into your life. (2) Therefore, Gnomes exist. ARGUMENT FROM ABSURDITY (1) Maranathra! (2) Therefore, Gnomes exist. BOATWRIGHT'S ARGUMENT (1) Ha ha ha. (2) Therefore, Gnomes exist. ARGUMENT FROM META-SMUGNESS (1) :):):):) you. (2) Therefore, Gnomes exist. ARGUMENT FROM NONBELIEF (1) The majority of the world's population are nonbelievers in Gnomes. (2) This is just what Dwarves intended. (3) Therefore, Gnomes exist. OPRAH'S ARGUMENT (1) Check out this video segment. (2) Now how can anyone watch that and NOT believe in Gnomes? (3) Therefore, Gnomes exist. ARGUMENT FROM ARGUMENTATION (1) Gnomes exist. (2) [Dwarve's counterargument] (3) Yes they do. (4) [Dwarve's counterargument] (5) Yes they do! (6) [Dwarves's counterargument] (7) YES THEY DO!!! (8) [Dwarf gives up and goes home.] (9) Therefore, Gnomes exists. ARGUMENT FROM HATE (1) Some elves hate Gnomes. (2) That's why they don't believe in Gnomes. (3) Pathetic, aren't they? (4) Therefore, Gnomes exist. [/QUOTE]
