For the sake of argument:
The Babel fish is small, yellow and leech-like, and probably the oddest thing in the Universe. It feeds on brainwave energy not from its 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 centres 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. 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.' |
Can I get one of those things when I go to Playa Del Carmen in October?? ha ha...You've been watching too much Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy....ha ha ha.

oh...about that original question...no...i dont think it would disprove God...if i got my hands on a fish that would allow me to speak any lingo i think i'd spend every sunday for the rest of my life prayin....after i took another trip to the dominican republic and secretly listened to what they really think of my boink skills

The sad thing is though, even if God, religion and whatever else was proven to be false, all these people who believe in it won't listen. They will think it's all a big lie and will continue believing in religion because they won't know what to do with themselves. The fish thingy though is pretty crazy sounding.

You Californians are weird people, man.

God is something the good apes came up with to keep the bad ones in line. If your not a good ape you can't go to heaven,or banana land if you will. Remeber what it was like before you were born??? Well,thats what its like when you die.

Babelfish is in a secret room in Quake 1. You then get the Pentagram in the same room to go on a killing spree.
