Nope.

Questions, and Answers, from the man himself
Deano’s answer to: “Is there a scientific argument for believing in God?”
Please note: I am answering the question asked, not "Can Science Argue the Existence of God?", which is what most people seem to be answering…
In simplest terms, I would advocate pursuing the following line of questioning:
- Are there scientifically demonstrable links between people who have "faith or belief in God", and health/longevity/income level/social status/etc?
- Do such links produce positive outcomes in a predictable fashion (longer lifespan, better health and wellness, greater wealth, etc)?
If so, then you could certainly argue that there is a scientific argument for believing in God, due to the measurable benefits attained from such belief… Though, it's also likely that such an argument would not preclude there also being scientific arguments not to believe in God.
After a googly-eyed search through the internet, I've stumbled upon a few yahoos who certainly dig this idea:

Finding and corroborating more objective studies on the issue is an exercise I leave to the reader. Nevertheless, in summary, YES, there appear to be at least attempted scientific arguments for believing in God.
Deano’s answer to: “If the messiah was to return today in the body of a normal man or woman, how would she be received?”
By anyone but organized/church-going Christians, probably fairly amicably.
If the messiah was to return today in the body of a normal man or woman, how would she be received?
Deano’s answer to: “If I were to cut off my leg and eat it, would I still weigh the same?”
A few other considerations:
- Without some pretty extreme surgery, it will be difficult to retain all the internal liquids within the severed leg until consumption is completed.
- Similarly, being able to ingest the entire leg prior to digestive breakdown may require, at the very least, unhinging your jaw, or perhaps simply converting your leg into a more readily digestible form – I'm pretty sure IT WILL BLEND.
- Any significant cooking/preparation of the limb for eating/drinking will result in at least some fat and muscle/bone-borne water loss.
Now, let's say you had one really SHORT leg, that could fit "whole" directly into your stomach. If we had a device that could instantly teleport it in there, while also cauterizing the pelvis/hip in the process "losslessly", or perhaps putting the open wound in statis, then there would certainly be at least an instant in which your before and after weights remained the same.
The more interesting question, to me, is "how long would the weight remain the same, and what would the self-digestion weight loss curve look like over the next hour/day/week?"
If I were to cut off my leg and eat it, would I still weigh the same?
Deano’s answer to: “What would happen if Facebook let users “follow” other users in addition to the option to add as friends?”
This feature exists in a backhanded way:
If someone makes a friend request that you ignore, rather than reject, then that person becomes your "facebook follower" – able to see your activity, but without the ability to participate/respond to it directly.
In the context of facebook, it's extremely off-putting to be the ignored (I speak from personal experience), as it's an indication that someone actively shelved my request, rather than having the guts to cut me loose entirely.
Thus, my overall feeling is this: if Facebook implemented this feature, it would destroy Facebook. Having a lot of "viewers" who can't interact with you as a second base of people to manage subverts and overcomplicates the already-extremely-broken sharing and privacy tools of the site, and would ultimately either push people back towards "friend or not" decision making, or a muddle that resulted in less open and honest sharing, since it would be much harder to know "who is watching".
