Recent Hobby 4

Posted by Shawn Tue, 23 Aug 2005 17:43:00 GMT

One of my newest hobbies is reading the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. The book is amazingly funny and fun to read. My favorite quote is:

Now it is such a bizarrely impossible coincidence that anything so mind-bogglingly useful could have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as a final and clinching proof of the nonexistence of God. The arguement goes something like this: "I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing." "But," say 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 though of that" and promply vanishes in a puff of logic.

Just a thought. I am also really stoked about going on a little hiking trip this weekend in Malibu with some people from our small group. Life is good, I miss everyone.

    Yeah, I have to stop reading books from you! The endings are always a disappointment. The book was awesome though. So interesting, and for some reason I just wanted to keep reading it.

    bah, endings are overrated. I know you love the middle. Oops, was that too risque to put on your public blog? Sorry about that...
