God

Hitchhiking our way Around the Internet...

God is referred to several times in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. He is responsible for the creation of the universe, but little else is stated about him and his actions. In other situations it states that there are several gods. Most of the references are to other books, such as those written by Oolon Colluphid (see below).

The story so far. In the beginning the universe was created. This made a lot of people very unhappy and has widely been regarded as a bad move.

[edit] Final Proof of the Non-Existence of God, Provided by the Babel Fish

Now, it is such a bizarrely improbable coincidence that anything so mind-bogglingly useful could have evolved purely by chance that some have chosen to see it as the final 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 that 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 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.

[edit] Oolon Colluphid

Known best for his controversial philosophical blockbusters, "Where God Went Wrong," "More of God's Greatest Mistakes", "Just Who Is this God Person Anyway?" and "Well, That Just About Wraps it Up for God."

[edit] More Than One?

It is, however, not possible to understand this without the educational level of advanced god. However, since they are too busy trying to explain how it is that they came into existence six minutes after the universe was created rather then, as they had always claimed, two weeks before, none are available for comment at this time.
