“An alternative, favored by those of a religious persuasion, was that A’Tuin was crawling from the Birthplace to the Time of Mating, as were all the stars in the sky which were, obviously, also carried by giant turtles.

This was known as the Big Bang hypothesis.”
― Terry Pratchett, The Color of Magic
