- how does one prove the proof that God exists? -- nm - zork Jul 9, 08:44 3
  - I *just* said that it can't be done. -- nm - nubby Jul 9, 08:47
  - He never said you could. - spamlet Jul 9, 08:46 1

- maybe someday, but it's not like we know what's currently going on in the far reaches of the universe. -- nm - Andie Jul 9, 08:44
