Το απόσπασμα που λέει ο The Sandman είναι το εξής:
The Babel fish is small, yellow and leech-like, and probably the oddest thing in the Universe. It feeds on brainwave energy received not from its own 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.

Now it is such a bizarrely improbable 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 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. Q.E.D."
"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.
Most leading theologians claim that this argument isn't worth a pair of fetid dingo's kidneys, but that didn't stop Oolon Colluphid from making a fortune when he used it as the central argument in his book "Well, That About Wraps It Up For God".
Ελπίζω να καταλαβαίνετε ότι εδώ ο Adams, αν και άθεος ο ίδιος, ΚΟΡΟΪΔΕΥΕΙ τις "αποδείξεις περί μη ύπαρξης θεού" των αθεϊστών.
Επίσης, The Sandman, γιατί σόφισμα, παρακαλώ; Αν έχει κάποιο λογικό σφάλμα αυτό που είπα, δείξε το. Εκτός κι αν πιστεύεις ότι ο θεός, εκτός από παντοδύναμος και πάνσοφος, είναι και πέρα από τους νόμους της λογικής.
