I think the theist, if they think they've got a good reason to believe in God, right, and we talk about all this evil, which we've just explored, maybe we can jump and bring the multiverse in on this as well, is that... If you're up at the University of Oklahoma, which is not too far from here, is it? It's like five, six hours?
