Actually it will go to 'I don't remember saying that'.

Actually the goalpost will likely move to "yeah well that proves an intelligence had to do it show us nature making life from scratch "Or they will pull neo's silly science works and therefore god nonsense.  Of course they will always just move the post god has to exist because if he doesn't theists don't get to feel righteous and special it all about ego.

Since they get to define God, they can keep moving the goalposts. Alas, we cannot disprove God, anymore than we can disprove flying space teapots, spaghetti monsters, or invisible pink unicorns. Some portion of people will always continue to move the goalpost, redefine what exactly their blind faith is in, so their blind faith can continue. It seems to be human nature.

I'm sure people will say god does it better, because only he can give something a soul, or that he can poof one up from nothing, while we use what their god gave us. Whatever they can still hold on to for their god to remain special.
