1. If evolution is true, we all share a common ancestor
2. All our shared common ancestors die
3. If christianity is true, humans don’t die
[Therefore: not both Christianity and evolution are true
4. Assume the negation, both christianity and evolution are true
5. Christianity is true from 4 simplification
6. Evolution is true from 4 simplification
7. It is not the case that humans die from 5 and 3 modus ponens
8. For all x, x is a shared common ancestor from 6 and 1 modus ponens
9. Humans share a common ancestor from 8 universal instantiation
10. If humans share a common ancestor then humans die from 2 universal instantiation
11. Humans die from 9 and 10 modus ponens, contradicting 7
12. Not both christianity and evolution can be the case from 4-11 reductio ad absurdum
1. (E > (x) Sx)
2. (x)(Sx > Dx)
3. (C > ~Dh)
[~(C . E)
4. (C . E) assume the negation
5. C from 4 simp
6. E from 4 simp
7. ~Dh from 5 and 3 modus ponens
8. (x)Sx from 6 and 1 modus ponens
9. Sh from 8 UI
10. (Sh > Dh) from 2 UI
11. Dh from 9 and 10 modus ponens, contradicting 7
13. ~(C . E) from 4-11 reductio ad absurdum
