Oh, come on, guys. Cut the guy some slack. It's a "what if" type of question. He's not saying it's possible; he's just saying "what if".
I think, as a former Christian, that I would have thrown in the towel because it is in my nature. I don't think my sister would throw in the towel, though. I think she would find a reason to believe the evidence is false. She would find faith in her most insignificant bone and live off of it forever. That's the way things work. It depends on the way a person thinks. Is the person the type that will actually consider the evidence or is the person the type that will close her eyes and say, "I can't hear you with me eyes closed."

Pointing around: "Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, you're cool, fuck you, I'm out!"
