[OGD] Creation vs Evolution?
Oliver Sparrow wrote: "Haldane, of course, thought that "that Almighty" had "an extraordinary affinity for beetles", so it may be that is closer to the mark." Oliver, I think you may be citing the wrong author here. I thought it was the Discworld's God of Evolution who was extraordinarily fond of making beetles.

Nope, Oliver was right. It was JBS Haldane who, when asked what the study of nature could tell one about the creator, supposedly replied "an inordinate fondness for beetles." Pratchett must have been paying homage to the famous Haldane quote.
