I recall a conversation where I told that in the comics HelpDex, the protagonist has wondered whether God was a programmer and in what programming language he wrote the universe. Then she had a dream where she heard God saying "I will tell you in which language I wrote the universe: Object-Oriented [COBOL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COBOL)!" at which point the protagonist wakes up scared. Then, a different participant who had immigrated from the former Soviet Union said that he was reminded of a story he read in a Soviet science magazine, where God and his angels were technicians who kept changing the universe based on how humans perceived it. Then during the 20th century, they had to implement [subatomic particles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subatomic_particle), [black holes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole) and more, and fondly recalled how they once took a [giant world turtle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_turtle), put four elephants on top, and called it a day -- Soviet magazine -- Conversation
