God isn't interested in technology. He knows nothing of the potential of the microchip or the silicon revolution. Look how he spends his time! Forty three species of parrot! Nipples for men! Slugs! He created slugs! They can't hear! They can't speak! They can't operate machinery! I mean, are we not in the hands of a lunatic? If I were creating a world, I wouldn't mess about with butterflies and daffodils. I would have started with lasers, eight o'clock, Day One!

Anytime you have an infant around who is starving put it to your male breast for long enough and you too can be a savior. And as for slugs, they are organic sewage systems, try living in a world where there is nothing organic like slugs and other organic decomposers to deconsume organic debris and see how you like it?
