My guess is that the reason for this is that google also searches for phrases. Therefore, the difference is that with "there god?" google is looking for "there," "god," and "there god" whereas with "is there a god" it is not looking for "there god," which would explain why "it there as god" returns mostly the same results as "is there a god?" (punctuation is irrelevant), although the ads are different and the text expands to fill that space. The results aren't exactly the same (although very close), because "it there as god" does not include a search for the phrase "is there a god" is not searched for.
Part of the reason insectoid designs also make much more effective designs is that insects are small, and so they only need spindly leg or wing types to maintain their weight, while robots are made out of metal or plastic, which is stronger, and therefore makes up for the increase in size (volume/weight increases cubically relative to leg length or width) by having stronger materials.
It is especially interesting, considering that you can't blame the men for not hiring the women...because there's no real hiring involved.
Although I guess the feminist argument there would be that women were prevented from the education necessary to begin with; however, from my limited perspective, that's not the case. I wouldn't say that its because women are less capable than men at developing software, but I would say that women are less interested in doing so...just as I would say men are not less capable as nurses, just less interested. The question then becomes...is this nature or nurture? I tend towards saying a combination of both...a natural tendency for men and a natural disinterest for women reinforced by the already uneven ratio...but I don't really have any idea.

Shoot, that's me, isn't it?
The 'i' makes a 'compliment' a nice thing to say, the 'e' makes a 'complement' something that goes well with the original thing...completes it.
