"Does God Exist?" would definitely be on Adam Savage's oogie boogie list.

The world has been in a horrible mess since any recorded history has been written. Whoever created the world obviously could not think. Therefore. in accord with DesCartes, a non-thinker is a non-exister.

Yay comedy inc love that show the myth buster ones are hilareous, like the one where they try to prove that black people have a bigger thing.

There were a couple of shots in that video where it looked like legs and feet in the upper left hand corner, as if someone were hanging from the ceiling.

But have you even seen comedy inc except for this skit? If not dont judge it, a lot of it is also directed towards ausies so dont say it is stupid.

Inverse error. Your logical form is invalid.

What about people in comas? Do they not exist?

Yes, your form is indeed flawed.

Well the body exists but the person does not, but on the other hand many people think that comer patience can dream, and if they can dream then they may be thinking.

Why is the inverse of DesCartes invalid?

Because claiming the inverse of a statement to be logically equivalent to the original statement is a basic logical fallacy.

The contrapositive would be valid though.

Cognito ergo sum; non-sum ergo non-cognito.

Basically, "I am not thus I think not." Not what Sand said, but that doesn't matter.

So, who would be willing to argue the inventor of nanotechnology, astrophysics, chemistry, etc, doesn't think?
