Alan Lightman, theoretical MIT physicist/novelist with joint appointments in science and humanities, in his novel, "Mr g"(2012), presents an imaginative rendering of Intelligent Design (Mr g is the designer) working within "g's" construct of quantum reality, cause and effect, time/space continuum, concept of Pi, harmonics, energy, matter, rotational motion, atoms,  elaborate structures of elements, ticking hydrogen time clocks.  

Mr. g disclaims any responsibility for "the marvelous ways" in which atoms in molecules formed linear chains, planar triads, tetrahedrons, octahedrons" because it was the laws of quantum that prescribed the electrical attractions. Likewise the planets and stars, he had "nothing to do with that." Those molecules "formed by themselves" based on cause and effect from the principles with which the universe began.

Lightman's "snake" is two "evil-like creatures" who convince Mr. g that he has to include "intelligent beings" to appreciate this universe (Aalam 104729 which is 10,000th prime number in base ten). The discourse from then on begins to wander as Lightman does not seem to come to grips with "beings" as he did with the astrophysics of the first part of the book.
