  Supreme Being or just math?  Calculate the number of electrons needed 
to switch, the length of time, and the odds of both reaching their 
number at exactly the same time, and there are likely less particles in 
the universe than the length of those odds in a decent circuit..  Of 
course there's really a threshold after which it will switch on but 
hasn't yet, so the timing won't need to be as precise, but likely still 
in the astronomically rare region.  And a lot of these type circuits are 
poorly designed, by bad design making it far more likely to have a 
match, although usually still very rare.  Didn't really look at it but 
this one looks to basic to be messed up too much though..

LOFL ran into this looking for the 50 eyes proves God thing to poke 
holes at the technical inaccuracies a while back.  Had favorites early 
on but too many are too funny to pick from..
