Anything which "proves" religion tends to be logical fallacy. In fact, many of them are classic examples of logical fallacies. If I recall, the wikipedia article about logical fallacies uses many such examples.

If you believe it, you might be able to miss it, but that doesn't mean it's a legitimate proof. It's nothing more than a funny way of looking at a belief which fundamentally shouldn't even be proven.
