This won't work if there are no command-line arguments. You mean if
(argc 1).

I rather stay with the metaphysics:
#include metaphysics.h
static metaPower God;
universe *makeUniverse(metaPower God)
{
if (!God) {
printf(Oops, no God available at the moment.Try again later!);
return NULL;
}
universe *everything;
if (!(everything = malloc(sizeof(universe {
God.mood = REALLY_BORED;
printf(God has no time to create a universe.);
return NULL;
} else {
return universe;
}
}

Sorry, somehow had to do this. Please slap me (i like it, don't worry)

Argh, I need some serious slapping (but I changed everything and
universe, and just forgot to change it all the way through (...good that
I am _not_ God)
static int main(int argc, char **argv) {
char *god_name;
if (argc)
god_name = argv[1];
else
god_name = YHWH;
metaPower God = getGodByName(god_name);
universe *everything = makeUniverse(God);

You forgot to check if God wasn't too bored. ;-)

Well, I'd expect God to be more clever as to do it that way.
Could you imagine toying around with your universe in C?
No, it must have been
static PyObject *
create_universe(char *god_name) {
PyObject *universe;
universe = PyObject_New(universetype, PyUniverse_Type);
if (!universe) {
PyErr_SetString(PyExc_CreationError,
Out of spacetime, or BDFL is too busy hacking
on web-based collaboration tools);
return NULL;
}
universe-un_god = PyGod_FromName(god_name);
universe-un_size = 0;
universe-un_expand_rate = COSMOLOGICAL_CONSTANT;
return universe;
}
