Round 1
Premise 1:
If existence of something cannot be disproven, it exists.
Premise 2:
Existence of Cthulhu cannot be disproven.
Conclusion:
Cthulhu exists.
My opponent has burden of proof to prove that Cthulhu doesnt exist.
I will wait.
Argument: Cthulhu is Not the True God
Definition: A true god is defined as a deity possessing supreme authority, omnipotence, omniscience, and moral perfection, with substantiated existence through reliable evidence and logical reasoning.
Evidence:
- Literary Fiction: Cthulhu is a fictional cosmic entity created by author H.P. Lovecraft, belonging to the horror genre known as Lovecraftian fiction.
- Contradictions in Attributes: Cthulhu is depicted as a malevolent and monstrous being, devoid of moral perfection or benevolence, contradicting the concept of a true god.
- Lack of Historical or Cultural Recognition: Cthulhu lacks recognition as a deity in any historical or cultural context outside of Lovecraft's fictional universe.
- Fictional Nature: Cthulhu exists solely within the realm of fiction and has no basis in historical or religious texts, mythology, or cultural practices.
- Scientific Understanding: Cthulhu's existence is purely fictional and has no relevance to scientific inquiry or understanding of the natural world.
Conclusion: Cthulhu fails to meet the criteria of a true god due to its fictional nature and contradictions in attributes.
Round 2
Can you prove that Cthulhu doesnt exist?
Premise 1:If existence of something cannot be disproven, it exists.
Logical fallacy.
Premise 2:Existence of Cthulhu cannot be disproven.
We have evidence that Cthulu is a fictional being that doesn't exist in the real world but only in the fictional one.
Conclusion:Cthulhu exists.
Fails by faulty premises. PRO has not fullfilled his BoP.
Round 3
Since there is no proof that Cthulhu doesnt exist, the only logical conclusion is that Cthulhu exists.
PRO fails his BoP.
