Apologies to Richard Dawkins, but maybe God realy is everywhere, including Samsung's flash memory fabrication plants.

How else to explain a pattern that looks quite like the grizzled visage of Jesus Himself, clearly seen in the jumble of silicon particles revealed in an electron microscope analysis of a 4GB Samsung flash memory chip?

Explains Dick James of semiconductor analysis firm Chipworks:

We often get dark fringe lines in the silicon, and in this case it looks like there was some holy influence.

Update: Religion isn't always a cut-and-dried business. Note that the divine tentacles of Flying Spaghetti Monster are also clearly visible in the corner of the image.
