A man by the name of Andre from Brazil wrote to Dr. William Lane Craig seeking help in responding to one of his college professors who denies the existence of reality. In Andre’s words: “some days ago, a professor of mine said that there is no reality. I don’t know why, but I didn’t like this affirmative because seems to me that, if it’s true, then we can take all science and throw in the garbage, because, in the end, nothing is real. At last, there is no reality?
Dr. Craig’s full response was “Who wants to know?” Classic! If you didn’t bust up laughing, either you didn’t get it or you aren’t a geek.

Yes, that’s an excellent reply. Ravi Zacharias relates a similar, perhaps apocryphal, dialog between a professor and a student:
Student: Prove to me that I exist!
Professor: And who may I say is asking?

That’s almost identical to the exchange I pulled from Roy Varghese in my “related” link. I love these kind of responses because they are so witty, and expose the foolishness of man’s “wisdom.”
