Sandworms are fictional desert-dwelling creatures from Frank Herbert's science fiction classic Dune. According to the Encyclopedia of Dune their scientific name is Geonemotodium arraknis (also Shaihuludata gigantica), though this point is debatable.. Among the Fremen of Arrakis (Dune) they are known as Shai-Hulud. The Fremen believe that the actions of the sandworms are the direct actions of God, and so the worms have been given numerous titles such as the Great Maker, the Worm who is God, Old Man of the Desert, Old Father Eternity, and Grandfather of the Desert...... Apophysis 2.05beta .... for all you Frank Herbert fans out there ... ;o)

I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

Had to look at this when I saw the title. Can't remember where I got to in that series, but I definitely remember the Sandworms - though not the encyclopaedia's details.
Great interpretation!
