GERMAR RUDOLF, RESISTANCE IS OBLIGATORY
Example 1:
Thesis: God exists.
Demand: Verifiable proof.
Support Thesis: God has characteristics which cannot be conceived by
the means and methods of this world.
Thanks to the supportive thesis, the principal thesis is armor-plated
for all time against scientific attempts at refutation. By so doing one has
removed God from the realm of science. Theology is therefore not a
science.
The second example follows the same principle, although it is not of
a theological nature.
Example 2:
Thesis: Little green men from outer space exist.
Demand: Verifiable proof.
Support Thesis: These extraterrestrials are technologically so much
superior to us that they can completely elude our efforts
to prove their existence.
In both cases we are dealing with logical immunizations of the theories,
which is an impermissible method in science. Perhaps you are now
asking what this has to do with our subject. In response I give you a
quotation by Simone Veil, the first president of the European Parliament
and an Auschwitz survivor. In response to revisionist demands for
verifiable evidence for the existence of homicidal gas chambers (especially
from Prof. Robert Faurisson) she said: 92
“Everyone knows that the Nazis destroyed these gas chambers
and systematically eradicated all the witnesses.”
If we put this statement into the same pattern as the two examples I
have given above, it looks like this:
Example 3:
Thesis: Gas chambers existed.
Demand: Verifiable proof.
Support Thesis: All evidence has been destroyed.
Subsequent Demand: Verifiable proof of the destruction of evidence
and of its content.
The consequence of this logical crutch, which was intended to be an
auxiliary theory, is, however, that the argumentative situation is now
