Bullshit. You first have to prove that our arguments are exactly opposite and mutually exclusive (i.e. that exactly one of them might be true). From Wikipedia, a disjunctive syllogism is of this form:
A is B or C
A is not C
Therefore, A is B
Even if you do prove all of us wrong, you have to prove that exactly one side is arguing the correct point.

No, that does not "prove" it exists in the real sense of the word. Do you believe in multi-verses and E.T.L.?

You call me a moron because ad Hominem is the only card you have in your deck, not because you are any such authority.
I need authority to call you a moron? Well then I guess you need authority to claim the existence of a supernatural fucking sky daddy who is omnipotent yet still has to sacrifice himself to himself to save the imperfect humans he created in the image of his perfect self from the Hell which it is his choice to send them to.
