He's not making it a god. He's saying that if you wish to discuss its
design, you first have to learn what that design *is*.
Though personally, I think the problem is less that Tim has problems
understanding C, but that he couldn't construct a reasonable argument if
his life depended on it. In this discussion, he's consistently come up
with code snippets that illustrated different problems than the text he
wrote to go with them, and then gone all upset when his meaning wasn't
crystal clear to everyone and everyone didn't applaud him.
