    Terry Pratchet did a whole bit about exactly this in The Last Continent (one of the Disc world books) - the God of Evolution is obsessed with beetles and creates new ones as a form of self-soothing.

    Apparently he was inspired by a quote from JBS Haldane:

    When asked what his studies of Creation had revealed to him about the nature of God, the Scottish geneticist J. B. S. Haldane (1892-1964) supposedly answered: “He seems to have had an inordinate fondness for beetles.”

    I’m pretty sure our holy Lord either looks like a dinosaur, a bird or more probably a beetle.

    Well, maybe He is a crab, and carcinisation is just getting closer to God.

    Maybe, we should all become crabs.

    Now I know what to do.
