God refuses to prove his existence...

The babel fish is a great short storyline from THGTTG (look it up), because it raises an interesting philosophical paradox. The story goes that there is a fish that is placed in the ear of an intelligent lifeform which is able to feed off the brainwaves of it's host in such a way as to translate the 'signal' of foreign languages into his native language. It is so named the babelfish after the biblical story of the tower of babel and the multitude of languages which resulted in the tower's destruction. That is not the most interesting part of the story, however. The idea that a creature so useful could evolve completely independently, without any influence from a supreme being is so ridiculous that it virtually proves God's existence. As God refuses to prove his existence, he immediately disappears. Alas, there are no such earthly examples of this kind of overwheliming coincidence to provide similar interesting material in real life, right? WRONG
The example that springs to mind is the phenomenon (I use that word alot, I know) behind spectroscopy. It is so unbelievably useful that I am surprised that God doesn't 'poof' in embarassment everytime it is used.
In a nutshell, every element in the universe has unique characteristics, such as it's radius and the amount of electrons it can hold.
Now light and energy are one in the same, especially at the atomic level, where they are absorbed and emitted in the form of photons (that is that single quanta of light we talked about in a previous blog, remember kids?). This absorbtion or emission affects the atoms, in that it changes the radius at which the electtrons orbit the nucleus. The thing is, each element has certain orbits which are forbidden to it based on it's radius and electronic structure, so when emission occurs these orbits, which correspond to specific wavelengths of light, are missing. A similar thing occurs during absorption where the only absorbed wavelengths are those which are missing during emission. Guess what this leads us to? An infallible way to identify elements when any light source is shined through them. The emission or absorption spectrum is completely characteristic. Even more amazingly, the addition of other elements or even compounds doesn't change where the lines occur, it just adds those of the additional component elements. This has allowed us to draw conclusions about the makeup of extremely remote areas of the Universe, without leaving our telescopes. Now you tell me, could something so useful have been created independently, without the help of a supreme being?
I'm not campaigning for the existence of God either way based on any of this, mind you, but I think it is a really interesting philosophical paradox. I do believe in God, but I don't think you have to to be a good person. God's not an egoist, mind you. He doesn't really need you to believe in him, just his work.
In conclusion, I would like to infer from these points the reason why I believe so passionately in the poigniancy of what I hope to make my career: Space Travel. To steal a very good point from the movie Contact, If we are alone in the universe, it would be an awful waste of space. I also infer the possibilty of deep space travel based on hyper (faster than light) speeds. This is in the face of everything physics has taught me so far, but in my gut I know it to be true. I just can't imagine God (or whoever) would have given us this big wide and wholly incredible place to look at, learn, and dream about, without letting us explore it. I feel that deeply as I have ever felt anything in my life. Of course I have the luxury of naivity. I admittedly don't know as much about the mechanics of these things as other advanced scientists who have determined it is impossible, but what the hell. 5 years ago we didn't know that at the center of every galaxy is a super massive black hole (thanks Hubble telescope), so there is still so much for us to discover. So that is my thoughts on the future of mankind, in a nutshell (look at me in this nutshell).
