Sorry didn’t understand the bablefish reference, why does that disprove the existence of god?

(I could define myself as an atheist anyway so this is really a non issue for me)

It is from the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuumnjJWFO4#t=2m07 for the TV version's rendition of this bit.

If you've not yet experienced H2G2 I suggest tracking down the original radio version before the books, TV, or more modern film - it is widely available to buy in various formats. It is justly recognized as a classic.

It's a reference to the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy novels.

Well, the original radio series upon which the first two books were very closely based, to be pedantic!
