It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist and so therefore by your own arguments you don't. QED.' `Oh dear ' says God `I hadn't thought of that ' and promptly vanished in a puff of logic. `Oh that was easy ' says Man and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing.
