I am Nothing@@@ by kris1920 2014/07/03 16:10
it is such a bizarrely improbable coincidence
that anything so mind-bog-gglingly useful could
have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers
have chosen to see it as the 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 vanished 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.
