"Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it as well?"
Douglas Adams.
So Adams is the one who came up with the puddle analogy? Brilliant! I give it a 42.
I gave the 42nd like and am so proud and give all honours to the team that made all the Hitchhiker's guide radio series, from the primary to the quintessential!
Also I can't recommend Young Zaphod plays it safe hard enough!!
Everyone would do well In listening to Douglas Noel Adam's lectures and comedy. Please.
D.N.A is a hero of life. My hero.🏆

@@gumunduringigumundsson9344 Cheers! 😊
42 isn't a very valuable thing to award it. 42's just the worthless answer that came up because Deep Thought assumed the humans embedded in its circuitry were evolved monkeys instead of being descended from Golgafrinchan telephone sanitizers, market executives and hairdressers.
Adams was an early athiest influence on me, back when I was still a Catholic. What I like is that his books were subtle enough about it that you could be a theist and still laugh and keep reading.
Douglas was a brilliant man. His legendary feats shall never be forgotten.
In the begining man greated god in his image
Only when he learn’t to travel through time. God in man’s image is a little way in the vast infinite distant future otherwise.
I can't help but smile at how much this makes sense.
What an amazing mind. RIP Douglas.
You left us all far too soon, the world still has need for people like you!
how cool that Simon Jones read / narrated this..
This is an excerpt from The Salmon of Doubt, definitely worth picking up if you liked this.
It’s on my dirty floor somewhere (I just read it) I should pick it up. The book jacket for dirk gently’s holistic detective agency is loose unattended next to the coffin basket for my dirty laundry. I can’t believe we got left like that with the rhino and the symptom of the cat
I think that this clip comes from "Salmon of Doubt." It's a collection of Adams' writings, and sections from the book he was working on when he died. Any Adams fan should read it. (Or listen to it, as the performance is brilliant)
he taught people so much and could have taught us so much more
"The puddle thinks 'this fits me very well - very very well. it must have been made for me".
Heh. Nice point.
What a beautiful and simple way of explaining it. Love it!!!!!
Thank you again Mr. Adams for putting things in perspective.
Brilliant. Thank you clearing things up. I can now see I've been wrong, so wrong. I can now enjoy life on earth knowing there is nothing else.
Bravo analogy Douglas Adams, bravo.
Peace.
I agree.. he is a Genius.
thanks a lot for the info on the voice, I have been wondering that for a loong time! I think Simon did a great thing by doing this
15 Years ago! This is Time Travel at it's Finest!
I love Douglas Adams! He was such a genius!
I loved this so much that I had to "Like" it (press the button) and share it on facebook, and after that I had to go on to thumb-up any nice comment about it.
I found this video inclredibly smart and thought provoking. Mr. Adams was a remarkably intelligent man, and I still believe in God.
A true genius, this man was.
Fantastic! What a brilliant man.
Douglas Adams was brilliant. RIP Douglas.
Ah Douglas Adams, brilliant, comme d'habitude =)
42
You know, this is the best explanation for religion I've ever heard. Thank you so much for posting it! :-D
Jesus. Could early man turn down THAT RACKET!!!!
Never heard this clip before. Pure genious. ^^
So long and thanks for all the fish, Douglas!
love it !!
A brilliant man.
An eloquent and lucid man.
Best quote ever.
BTW, Douglas Adams was awesome, is awesome.
One of the wisest in our time.
R.I.P.
Inspiring speech and kickass background music.
Great stuff, faved.
Well said sir.
brilliant and entertaining
omg that was sooo good :) loled hard
Man, Douglas Adams owned.
oh my gods! What a freaking genius.
Gro - si - si - mo!
muy muy bueno! :)
love it
Science doesn't know everything, otherwise it would stop!
Dara O'Brian
True genius. Articulately expressed. Great humour. Ties in perfectly with existentialist psychology theory.
LOVING the puddle analogy
Great!
@bimmjim GENIUS! I applaud you.
Exactly.
Why can’t I thumbs up 100 times?
This was one of his older ideas which helped inspire some of Dawkins approaches to discussing the origin of God. They were mates in the old days.
Loved his books. Sad he never understood that, though many people's conceptions of God ( including his own) are serioously childish,, God is not.
The mile high letters say, "I love you, and have given you beauty. Now, Go,Love, Serve, Restore,. Yes, evil is present also. But I gave you insight and reason and love to ovetcome it.
While most of us mistake self awareness for intelligence, Adams was/is intelligent enough to be humorous.
So precarious is the balance that allows life on this planet, one can only laugh at the hysterics created by debating superstitious mythology.
Douglas Adams is brilliant!
this guy is a Genius
AMERICA NEEDS MORE OF THIS
I miss douglas
Me too. Very much. I do him the honor of listening to what he expressed and telling others about him.
Darn the jazzy music... It distracts me a lot from listening to this genius speech...
Well said
brilliant
This is my fav Adams bit. It's from The Salmon of Doubt (which is itself a collection of his previous speeches and interviews).
cool vid man, thanks for sharing!
Its good to know that some people like douglas adams was happy with his digital watches!
Genius
he was so realistc in his theories, he is one of the masterminds of the 20th century
in memoriam
AGREE 100%
Put so straight forward and simple...Religion 0 - Rational thinking 1
the good they do die young. rip
this. is. awesome!
(to the tune of "this is Sparta")
this is really about when Douglas Addams decided to tell the population of mankind to be careful with the planet and not to take anything for granted
excellent video, great concept, seems like common sense that everyone could grasp, unfortunately not everyone is capable of making this correlation....
Quote 3:40 The best description of religion ever made. Dont read it if you find yourself being a puddle.
“This is rather as if you imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, 'This is an interesting world I find myself in - an interesting hole I find myself in - fits me rather neatly, doesn't it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!"
RIP Douglas Adams.
incredible man. Too bad he left us too early.
This needs an animation, Hitchhikers guide style!
RIP
thebbeenn, thank you so much for not tossing out the baby with the bathwater.
some people need to believe that other people need something else to belive in makes em feel different ,special even "only thing i believe in is tellin people what to believe" should be a famous quote
/ignore
Thats the nature of a true Atheist...he/she can lose an argument and acknowledge it.. Respect
Very good point :P
this was for ufewl.
sorry for posting in the wrong spot.
Who is this God fellow is anyways?
Cave Rave God is no fellow, our ancestors made that mistake. God is the all natural big bang creator, evolver & ruler of the universe -- the integrated laws of nature and forces of physics. Yes God evolved the world then evolved man, the Darwinian way. This is the way that we fit into the world so perfectly natural evolution. If not for God there would be nothing instead of everything. Atheists are profoundly wrong & delusional, most believers misidentified God, but to think humans created & rule the universe is truly frothing at the mouth insane.
ungertron What Cave Rave wrote is a quote (albeit a misquote) from one of Douglas Adams' books.
Mikhel Barajas Oh thanks for telling me Douglas Adams was Richard Dawkins favorite comedian on religion. I went here after hearing that Dawkins interview.
ungertron It was a quote from Adams' book, you cretin.
He is dead.
"He even manages to live in New York, for heaven's sake!" - ah, Douglas... In the third book (I think it was the third) in his Hitchhiker's series, he also makes fun of NYC :)
There's an airport where all planes are filled with passengers waiting for it to take off but there have been delays...
So all passengers are put into hibernation by the central computer.
From time to time, they all wake up, start screaming because they're still where they were, their plane's take-off still delayed.
And a nice voice on the intercom informs all that coffee and peanuts will be served while they are waiting for the plane to take off.
Eventually, since no plane does take off, all passengers are put into hibernation again.
Till the next time they wake up.
I think he described Hell.
@spazfox
Effectively, this helps a lot with being able to provide at a lower and much faster than contiguous concatenation, however is intrinsically the problem of differential delay where each that is created.
Coming to this masterpiece late but as a life-long admirer of Douglas Adams (& his disciple pTerry Pratchett) who better than Simon Jones - the original Arthur Dent to narrate Douglas Adams ??
As much as I love this guy, it scares me that the things he says make sense to me. lmao
Quite convincing I have to admit :)
I don't know exactly where from it is, but I seem to remember reading a passage like this one in the Salmon of Doubt - a collection of writings by DnA published shortly after his death.
To paraphrase George Bernard Shaw:
Animals look at the world and adapt to fit it.
Mankind looks at the world and adapts it to fit him.
Wow, that "zany" jazz in the background isn't irritating at all.
Yeah, supernatural. Thanks.
I like he more for her software than anything else.
@PastafariansWON as much as i knew that already, i never really THOUGHT of it... guess thats the way they get people. FEAR!
thank you tho, your comment makes me feel better : )
all I can say is... thumbs up for Hitchhiking
Hmmm... the puddle comment was really interesting. I guess i could see that happening if rain water had rational thought. Adams is a real sharp dude i didnt know he wrote Hitchhikers Guide.
GOOGLE today celebrates Douglas Adams!!!!!!!!!
Well, you do need to consider the alternate theory: Rather than it being made for you, you were just programmed to feel pleasure by being there so that you would stay there instead of venture off somewhere where that program brings pain instead.
true story.
Why'd you have to die Douglas... you had so much more to tell the world and makes us laugh about. In a way, he's one of the smartest people ever, because not only is he perceptive and intelligent, but he transmits his messages in a very funny manner.
Wait... Water's delicious to drink?!?!?!?!?! Maybe I should try that one day!
