Dear David,
indeed that seems to me a quite good translation.
It's very near to the German words - but I cannot judge, if it is good
English.
Probably it would be better to exchange the order of the words:
Against stupidity Gods themselves fight in vain - or (another try):
Against stupidity even Gods fight in vain
Best regards
Markus

Dear Rainer,
Interestingly Google translate offers the following for your subject
line. In some ways it's a more subtle concept than the proper translation!
"Against stupidity Gods fight themselves in vain"
Best wishes,
David

Dear lute netters,
A hot candidate for the most idiotic entry in Wikipedia:

Almost everything is nonsense.
Note: The English entry is much better.
