God knows.

Do you think the Big Bang scared God then? A bit like when you plug
something in and there's a flash, a bang and all the lights go out?
Perhaps the Creation was an accident- not so much intelligent design, as
tune for maximum smoke?

I hope those were merely rhetorical questions, Paul. I wonder if
I've used a bit of local Midlands dialect that is not commonly used
elsewhere. When I were a lad, and something unusual happened, the
standard response to a question such as "How do you think that
happened, then?" was "God knows", meaning "I haven't got a clue".

I think that's pretty common. It's sometimes given emphasis as "God
alone knows". But I like the idea of the SNAFU theory of the universe.
It might make a lot of sense.
