God created us in his image. IOW, God is a Python hacker, and we are instances of some Python classes running on a cosmic VM. <URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation_hypothesis> The Book suggests God had some initial interaction with his creation but quickly grew frustrated and ultimately bored. He must have found other interests (or friends) long time ago, but has apparently forgotten the server running in a corner closet. It has been prophesied that God will eventually write a Version 2 of the universe which will have most of the known glitches in Version 1 fixed. Mandatory upgrades will be pushed from the Cloud. Personally, I suspect Version 2 is all vaporware. Marko -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
