Therefore, c divides the initial remainder r < sub > 0 </ sub >, since r < sub > 0 </ sub > = a − q < sub > 0 </ sub > b = mc − q < sub > 0 </ sub > nc = ( m − q < sub > 0 </ sub > n ) c. An analogous argument shows that c also divides the subsequent remainders r < sub > 1 </ sub >, r < sub > 2 </ sub >, etc.

It also assumes that perception is entirely due to data transfer and information processing, an argument that can be avoided by proposing that the percept does not depend wholly upon the transfer and rearrangement of data.

The teleological argument assumes that one can infer the existence of intelligent design merely by examination, and because life is reminiscent of something a human might design, it too must have been designed.

Calvinists note that the argument assumes that either God's love is necessarily incompatible with corruption or that God is constrained to follow the path that some men see as best, whereas they believe God's plans are not fully known to man and God's reasons are his own and not for man to question ( compare Rom.
