I have a very very born-again friend (well, he used to be a friend...) who tries to use this line on atheists: "what if I could give you absolute proof of the existance of God? What then, HUH?!"
The answer he wants is that "I would fall down on my knees and admit my atheism was wrong and worship God." The answer he EXPECTS is "I am so fixed in my atheism that I would still not accept the existence of your god, la la la la I'm not listening."
The true answer, which I've given up giving since HE isn't listening, is this: "I would have a few things to ask The Deity". Worship? I don't get it. If I were the omnipotent, omniscient creator of all, why would I care what a few after-thoughts I made just before my day off did?
