Even Calvin had a sense of humor

[Jon_]

We must not be moved by the profane jeer, that it is strange how it did not sooner occur to the Deity to create the heavens and the earth. . . . Why God delayed so long it is neither fit nor lawful to inquire. Should the
human mind presume to do it, it could only fail in the attempt. . . . It was a shrewd saying of a good old man, who when some one pertly asked in derision what God did before the world was created, answered he made a hell for the inquisitive (August. Confess., lib. 11 c. 12). (Calvin, Institutes, I, xiv, 1)
