Im reminded of Roko's basilisk which I suppose may have gained a significant number of new believers in the last year.

What I'm looking for is something specific to physics or astrophysics and that is at the scale of god / mythical creature creating. Like someone writing a literal (mythical?) interpretation of "Maxwell's Demon" into a new-new testament.

So, you are looking for a "religiously presented" science text [1] rather than "scientifically presented" religious text (as most comments here suggest)?

[1] i.e inferring classic religious ideas, like God/demons/etc from scientific premises

Both but yes more interested in "religiously presented" science. Again, based on the assumption that most religions started as tools approximately explaining what was known at the time (or for defining and increasing adherence to local policy).
