My go-to response as well. I leave the second part of it for the theist to bring up, at which point I compliment them on their sudden understanding of the burden of proof.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

It's a sad state of affairs when intellectual honesty is seen as a weakness in a position.

Get the other guy to admit he can't be certain; then just say I am certain.

Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?

Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.

False date.
He was in fact watching evolution as it occurred about 4.5 billion years ago.

Don't believe me? Don't worry, I wrote a book on it that says he was there. So................

Oh yeah and by the way you don't have any real evidence just like numbers and dates and examples and stuff. I have actual TESTIMONY FROM SOMEONE WHO KNOWS IT'S TRUE. I KNOW HE KNOWS THAT HE IS TRUE, THEREFORE IT'S TRUE.



What are you going to do, prove it isn't? With what? Stuff that happened in the past can't be true unless you were there to see it.

Was wikipedia there to know that Matt was actually born in 1969?

It's such a fun argument.
