Summary: 


In Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the proof goes something like this:

"I refuse to prove I exist", says God, "for proof denies faith and without
faith, I am nothing."

"But", says Man, "the Babelfish is a dead give-away.  Surely something so
mind-bogglingly useful as that couldn't evolve by chance.  Therefore, you
exist."

"Oh.", says God, "I hadn't thought of that." and promptly vanishes in a
puff of logic.

Pleased with himself, Man goes on to prove that Black is White and gets
killed at the next zebra crossing.

(In Britain, where the Guide originated, a zebra crossing is a pedestrian
crosswalk.)
