For proof denies faith, and without faith, I am nothing. But, says Man, the Babel fish is so astoundingly useful that it must be proof of Your existence. Therefore, You don't exist! Oh, dear! says God, I hadn't thought of that! and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic." (I'm sorry I don't have the book with me now.) ************ you forgot to add: "That was easy," said Man, and for an encore proves that black is white and gets himself killed at the next crosswalk. The "real-life" book was HGttG, but this was supposedly from a book called "That About Wraps it up for God."
