Carl Sagan said that to make an apple pie from scratch, first you must invent the universe. So, when God wanted an apple pie, He said “Let there be light” and invented the universe.
After a few thousand years with a few crusades and plagues along the way, God noticed the first apple pie cooling on a windowsill.
“Excellent,” God said, and He flew down to investigate. “Is that apple pie?”
“Yes,” said the woman who cooked it, and she offered God a slice.
God thought it was delicious, but… it needed something.
“Want to invent ice cream?” He asked.
