I've been lonely quite often lately. I spent the time sleeping, smoking or working on my local server and setting up some features and services.
I also started listening to the audiobook "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", which made me ask myself what if humanity could talk to god.
Here, a small part of the (audio)book:
God refuses to prove that they exist because proof denies faith and without faith God is nothing:
'I refuse to prove that I exist,' says God, 'for proof denies faith, and without faith, I am nothing.'
Man then counters that the Babel fish is a dead giveaway because it could not have evolved by chance. So the fish proves that God exists - but hence also, by God's own reasoning (see 1) that God does not exist:
'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, by your own arguments, you don't. QED.'
God says that they hadn't thought of that (hadn't thought of 2) and promptly disappears in a puff of logic:
'Oh dear,' says God, 'I hadn't thought of that,' and vanishes in a puff of logic.
Man then remarks about how easy that was (and gets himself killed on the next pedestrian crossing):
'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.
