Well I've certainly seen the arguement on here from some Creationists along the lines of "well.. millions of people can't be wrong"
I had this exact argument with Mike, back in the day. (Lord knows what topic it was in now.) The gist of what he said* was that he had a hard time believing that all those millions of Christians were deluding themselves.
My response then, as now, is that if Christianity is right, then there are about four billion non-Christians on the planet who are deluding themselves. So no matter what, there are huge numbers of delusional people out there.
*(he's more reasonable now, but still refers to himself in the third person for some reason.)

And ask our esteemed panel, Why are we alive? And here's how they replied:
You're what happens when two substances collide
And by all accounts you really should have died."
