** The idea that "God" might have been "the remains of a space probe that collided with God" is very likely a callout to the ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' episode "The Changeling", which focused on a space probe that collided with an alien craft and became a near-godlike entity.

* BeingGodIsHard: Bender's seemingly simple request for beer led to the micro sized aliens having many hardships. And then they waged religious war against the other micro alien colony on Bender that couldn't see him and didn't believe he existed. And then everyone died. Later in the episode Bender met an entity that may or may not be the real God, and shared notes. Conclusion reached: being god is hard.
