Anybody need an eye opener?
Atheists are always demanding proof of things, so I've decided to give them proof:
Suppose (for the sake of contradiction) we have a complete list of primes.
Call the primes in our finite list p1, p2, ..., pr.
Let P be any common multiple of these primes plus one (for example, P = p1p2...pr+1). Now P is either prime or it is not. If it is prime, then P is a prime that was not in our list.
If P is not prime, then it is divisible by some prime, call it p. Notice p can not be any of p1, p2, ..., pr, otherwise p would divide 1, which is impossible.
So this prime p is some prime that was not in our original list. Either way, the original list was incomplete.
Therefore there are infinitely many primes.
You can't tell me that's not a valid proof.
Take that, Euclidlutionists.

Ah, but where did the FIRST prime come from?
Obviously from the primordial soup, not from any primitive god.

I beleive that your example is proof of no God. It shows that even in chaos, patterns will emerge. It suggests that it life can be created from nothing because nature always attempts to create a balance. This is not an act of a god, but the effect of many different completely natural effects.
The problem with you Theists is that you want all of the answers right now, and you assume there is some magical answer because we lack the knowledge at the moment. People with rational minds continue to search for answers while you morons take the short cut to thinking and go the "God works in mysterious ways" route.
Your'e all a pack of god damned fools.
while you waste your time rationalizing the world around you to fit your bogus invisable sky jew philosophy, some of us will continue to use rational thought and science to learn the truth. And we will continue to do so long after your lame *** religion has faded into the ages with the many others through history.
Did I mention your'e an idiot?

Interestingly I was dreaming of the endless chain of prime numbers last night. Was this a divine message from the Mathy Spirit?

Yer startin' agin with that name callin'.---If I'm a Euclidlutionist,---then you're a bigger un.---How does that make you feel----ya dern name caller.
But, I have ta tell ye that we was usin' prime on our farm long fore you ever thot about it.
When our old water pump lost succhun, we had ta prime the damn thing, and if it still didn't pump, we primed that sucker agin, and agin. ---But we ddn't act all uppity like you, and rite it all down on paper---like P-1,--P-2, and like that.
But yer sure messed up in yer head, if ya think that's gonna git them Evolutionaryist fellas all twistin' in they're panty hose.
They'll jest think yer a bit teched in the head, and go on thinkin' the same screwy way like they's always did.
Ya better stop readin' all them matheematik books, and git back ta yer mane subgect of Creationaryistology.
No ofence,----jest sum frenly advice.

I don't want to think on sundays.... Whats the matter with you? I'm not an atheist but I don't believe in god. I believe in the creator, not Some big white guy with a long flowing beard and with all these little kid things around him........ More like mother earth.....

Well hell, that proves it. I'm converted. Why didn't I think of that??? Okay, now I know that God sent his only son to die as a blood sacrifice for the atonement of sins of a couple of people who were seduced by a talking snake.
QED.

You really could fit right in with the creationists. Out of curiosity, do you ever get support messages from them on your work against the evolutionists? I'd imagine that you do....

That is a very nice proof. I don't think it's the proof everyone is talking about, though.
... I almost forgot how much I love proofs!

Excellent.
I recommend as your next project that you demonstrate that there is no such thing as a boring number.
(There's such a nice little proof... It should convince everyone of everything.)

That it is not proof. You are talking mathematics. By your thinking pi is also proof of a god and its not, its simply proof of mathematics and patterns developing even in chaos.
