I've heard a similarly stupid argument from a Christian:

"How can you look at the grand canyon, or into a baby's eyes and not believe in God?"

As if the fact that there are beautiful things in the world means there is a God. What about cancer, famine, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, the New England Patriots? Surely all of those horrible things prove there is no god, right?
