In the beginning

In the beginning, the world was formless and void. And the spirit of the Creationists hovered over the waters, proscribing just how God was permitted to create the Universe, lest the creationists' faith be bruised by the knowledge that the world was in fact older than 6000 years. And lo, God spake and said "has it occurred to you that I'm quite capable of doing this without your input?" Verily, the creationists were astonished by this hubris and said "well, when your Son comes down in some future age and he gives his life for the sins of the world, we'll make sure that when we spread that message, we'll encumber our audience with unlikely claims of lions eating vegetarian and Koala bears walking across two continents and swimming an ocean to get to their habitats. And we'll also insist that if they don't beleive our claims, then they can't really be saved, can they?"


And God said "Do I know you?"
