Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea – Jules Verne 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 nonexistence of God. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy – Douglas Adams
