OK. Let's talk about logical fallacies. In equating the belief that Elvis is alive with the belief in metaphysical reality show Harris to be unserious. Certainly not all metaphysical claims can be assumed to be equal, as he does. The argument is ad hominem. To ridicule your opponent and to make the audience laugh at him is not winning the debate. It's to tell a joke.
