What's the lamest defence of Theism you've ever heard?

My girlfriend used that one recently. She is such a sweet person though, I just gave the fake smile and non committal head nod. Sometimes it's hard to be atheist in the closet...

Well Cthulu, I think you're old enough to know the truth. When a mammy mets a daddy and they fall in love*, sometimes when they are deemed to be ready, and go out to pick a cabbage they are visited by a wondeous stork who carries a newborn baby in its beak. And that is how babies are made.
*For a given value of love or, sometimes, lust.

Once! It was once! There was a party, we were both drunk, I never even got the name...
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.'

Ones I've heard recently that make me want to bash my head against the wall:
"You don't believe the bible because it was written by men? Who wrote your text books?"
By this logic one should also believe in Dianetics, the Quran, and all those ridiculous self help books that aren't helpful at all.
"You don't believe the bible because it was written by 'bronze age goat herders' but believe the cavemen invented the wheel when they were the most stupid there was?"
Actually no, I don't' believe that the wheel was invented by the caveman. The wheel wasn't made until around circa 3500 B.C. And even then it wasn't first used as transportation for some time. The wheel being in the flintstones doesn't mean people believe wheels were invented by the caveman. Men and Dinosaurs didn't live during the same time period. Furthermore there is evidence that points to when the wheel was developed.
"You don't believe the bible because there's no proof? Then why believe man walked on the moon?"
Because there's proof that man walked on the moon? Video evidence, along with corroborating testimony. You can't seriously be this stupid.

I've heard a similar one on those lines, which goes something like "you say that the bible/kerrang is false because God/Jesus/etc doesn't exist; well Christopher Hitchens doesn't exist, so all his books must be false".

Don't know why I do this to myself, but here's another one I found:

Usually the ones that go along the lines of "Science has already proven evolution is false" or "Science has never debunked the bible"
I'm not sure if these people only get their information from creationist websites or if they are really that stupid.
