Oolong Colluphid is the guy who made a small fortune when he wrote the best-selling book "Well That about Wraps It Up for God," which central theme was the theory some thinkers have chosen to see as a final and clinching proof of the nonexistence 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, isnīt it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you donīt. QED." "Oh dear," says God, "I hadnīt thought of that," and promptly vanishes 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. Most leading theologians claim that this argument is a load of dingoīs kidneys, but that didnīt stop Oolon Colluphid. -Wonko -The Guide -DNA
