Douglas Adams said:The Babel fish is small, yellow, leechlike, and probably the oddest thing in the Universe. It feeds on brainwave energy received not from its own carrier but from those around it. It absorbs all unconscious mental frequencies from this brainwave energy to nourish itself with. It then excretes into the mind of its carrier a telepathic matrix formed by combining the conscious thought frequencies with nerve signals picked up from the speech centers of the brain which has supplied them. The practical upshot of all this is that if you stick a Babel fish in your ear you can instantly understand anything said to you in any form of language. The speech patterns you actually hear decode the brainwave matrix which has been fed into your mind by your Babel fish.
Now it is such a bizarrely improbable coincidence that anything so mind-bogglingly useful could have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as a final and clinching proof of the NON-existence of God.
The argument goes like this:
`I refuse to prove that I exist,' says God, `for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing.'
`But,' says Man, `The Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED.'
`Oh dear,' says God, `I hadn't thought of that,' and promptly disappears in a puff of logic.
`Oh, that was easy,' says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing.
Most leading theologians claim that this argument is a load of dingo's kidneys, but that didn't stop Oolon Colluphid making a small fortune when he used it as the central theme of his best-selling book, "Well, That about Wraps It Up for God."
Meanwhile, the poor Babel fish, by effectively removing all barriers to communication between different races and cultures, has caused more and bloodier wars than anything else in the history of creation.
Everybody gets tails. Deleting them was a mistake.
Every once and awhile, I see God playing FARMTOWN. That makes me think bored.
Your Quote You're really over-thinking this. It's just a joke, unsafe.
Not according to the Bible -----it may be funny to you but not to God ------And God Matters as you will go before Him in the end accroding to scripture ------
Galatians 6:7Amplified Bible (AMP)
7 Do not be deceivedand deludedand misled; God will not allow Himself to be sneered at (scorned, disdained, or mocked[a]by mere pretensions or professions, or by His precepts being set aside.) [He inevitably deludes himself who attempts to delude God.] For whatever a man sows, thatand[b]that only is what he will reap.
The way you word your response to chansen makes it sound like god matters but chansen doesn't. You can correct me if I am wrong unsafe. So just to try to understand what you are trying to say here is it is god who matters most to you. As for god having a sense of humour well come on the guy is hilarious I mean just listen to the past and present mouthpieces he uses.Your Quote You're really over-thinking this.
