The second google result there seems to be directly addressing the arguments brought up by the first.

All viruses are snipits of information that use a host to reproduce itself.
We even have no-biological computer viruses.
Often viruses have side effects that are damaging to the host, or induce the host to act in ways detrimental to it's well being.
Can the human consciousness suffer from a thought viruses?
Would Philosophy, Ideology, Nationalism, and Religion fit the description?

Isn't it true that whenever someone discovers the question, then the entire universe blows up and a new one is created?

Almost. Whenever both question and answer are known, then it blows up.
You can know one exclusive-or the other without harmul effects.

Maybe, and I know this borders on heresy, but maybe Adams was wrong. Maybe the answer isn't 42.
Maybe the question is 42.

The Bible's credibility is only at stake for people who interpret it strictly literally. Since there are several places where the Bible itself openly states that parts of it are allegorical (e.g. Mark 4:11), I personally don't think literalism is supportable.

The cultural equivalent of a biological gene is called a "meme" {link}.
