And whaddya know; I have tomorrow off! Think I'll make some popcorn, sit down on the couch, and treat myself to an aneurysm.

HAHA! And I'm guessing you will have exactly that.

Here's what I don't get:
When these guys say that they can "prove God's existence scientifically" why does everyone act as if that assertion is even possible/rational?

"...why does everyone act as if that assertion is even possible/rational?"

I'll answer that with a quote from one of the 20th century's foremost practical philosophers:

"People like blood sausage. People are morons." -Bill Murray in "Groundhog Day"

Perhaps the bestest thing about that particular assertion, however, is that it undermines one of the most pivotal and central precepts upon which religion functions: Faith. Thus, the debate might as well be a one-sided episode of "Quit hittin' yerself! Quit hittin' yerself! Quit hittin' yerself!"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Or an even more direct answer, from the same philosopher and in the same conversation: "They're hicks, Rita!"
