God writes in Lisp
I love Google. You find the most interesting things. I always had a hankering that if God were a programmer, he'd write in Lisp. Goncha explains in his Eternal Flame (Song of Lisp).
(As a side note, when you look at the information content in DNA, it's actually pretty clear that God is a programmer, if you'll allow for a bit of redundancy and unreachable code.)

Then again, God might just be following Alan J. Perlis' Epigram in Programming #21:
21. Optimization hinders evolution.
