Today, I went to the Pepsi machine at work and found out they were all out of Diet Pepsi. So I picked a Diet Dr Pepper instead. As I drank it, I thought about the advertising that Diet Dr Pepper does: “It tastes more like regular Dr Pepper!”
First, notice that it’s a non-comparison comparison. Yeah, it doesn’t tell you what it tastes more like regular Dr Pepper than… That is, it could be “It tastes more like regular Dr Pepper than dirt.” Or it could be “It tastes more like regulard Dr Pepper than Pepsi tastes like regular Dr Pepper.” There’s so many ways to take that.
But more fundamentally, I noticed a simple fact. Diet Dr Pepper says it tastes more like regular Dr Pepper. But this is a uni-directional comparison. You never hear “Regular Dr Pepper tastes more like Diet Dr Pepper!”
That’s because regular Dr Pepper tastes so much better than Diet Dr Pepper that it would never want to make that comparison.
In the same way, of course, Darwinists will say, “Darwinism is just as proven as Einstein’s theory of relativity.” But you never hear a physicist say, “Einstein’s theory of relativity is just as proven as Darwin’s theory of evolution.” Yeah, that’s another uni-directional comparison.
Great sign that the comparison is bogus.
