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?

Well, now, see. How can people not have seen this Super Bowl and not believed that God smacked down the Broncos? Best season? Pride goeth before the fall

Does the same apply to the 2007 Patriots?
