i refer to it as god, but seeing as it is not a human being (or rather because it is not a mortal being)i don't see any need for it to have a peronalized 'name'.

Douglas Adams must have had a great epiphany for that to make sense, probably comes with loads of text for explanation.
In the middle of the book you would probably say, hmmm, I kind of get what he's talking about, but at the end you would say, thats a bunch of bull. I am just guessing.... First I ever heard of it. But surely it is a divine number. So are these: 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 23, 2000, 2012, 2125, 0, infinity (probably more!!)

douglas adams is a science fiction writer. he's brilliant at it if you ask me, but they are of course purely fiction, however brilliantly they are written. the idea of 42 being the answer to life the universe and everything is just a concept of his story that took off on it's own.
it's a very interesting series of books The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, among others. i have them all.

aren't most of these considered to be titles, rather than names?
