Another mindbogglingly inane argument for the existence of God (from PZ's blog): [link]

The gist of the argument is the Earth could not have existed for 3 billion years like science says. Because if it had, there'd be no water left on Earth. See, because people drink water. But if the earth is only 6,000 years old, there'd be plenty of water left.

Apparently the person who came up with this argument does not realize that water we drink does not stay in or bodies forever....

Has he not heard of the water cycle?

Speaking as a strong theist (but a comfortable and happy vast and ancient universe theist--poor sheltered me, I was all the way into college before I realized there were any other kinds still in existence), I gotta say to this guy...

Nope, can't say anything. His wrong is so big and powerful that I just walk all around it, marveling at its magnitude and unsure where even to begin.

eta: Only a joke? Whew. Also, kind of sad, because there was something perversely magnificent in having achieved such vast and multifaceted wrongness.

Argh. PZ occasionally is fooled by stuff like that.

HAH.

Oh, but it's a fake? ::runs off to edit linkspam draft::

It didn't originate there; there are earlier postings. But nobody is referring to it seriously, and nobody seems to have an original source, so yeah: Poe's law.
