I would first argue on the term “created”. If we take it out, some possible reductions include:
Each men is identical.
Two quantum particles of the same type taken from two different human beings are undistinguishable. The same holds for Pluto.
Our society should aim at giving each of its member an equal chance in life.
All men are dumb.
2 The lottery is a waste of hope.
If you keep playing lottery (with a finite initial investment), it is certain that you will loose on the long run.
3 Religious people are intolerant.
People that claim to be religious are on average more intolerant than the rest of the population (intolerance level is measured by a hidden jury during a role playing situation).
4 Government is not the solution; government is the problem.
The current implementation of government is imperfect.
5 George Washington was a better president than James Buchanan.
In March 2009, a majority of Americans claim that GW was a better president than JB.
Specialists of fields A, B and C judge that GW was a better president than JB while those of fields D, E and F think the converse.
7 God exists.
The God described by religion X exists and most of the claims of that religion are true.
There is an entity that created the universe and that can still interact with it. This is experimentally verified using X.
There is an entity that created the universe and that no longer have any interactions with it (not testable).
9 Imagination is more important than knowledge.
Of the participants showing the minimal knowledge requirement X (evaluated by test A), those that are more imaginative (evaluated by test B) were significantly better at task Y. No such correlation is observed for test A (as long as requirement X is met).
10 Rationalists should win.
When given the same amount of information, rational agents fare better on average at any specified task than all other kind of agents. (Add some restrictions for physical strength etc.)
