发帖数: 6791 | 1 Now it is such a bizarrely improbably coincidence that anything so
mindbogglingly useful [the Babel fish] could have evolved 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 something 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 vanishes
in a puff of logic.
