The Explosion Nearly Killed Us All

(7)

god: He began at the beginning, he said, by explaining the nature of 'matter.' He explained that the world of the 'natural' was far more complex than the world of the 'supernatural.'
me: I can relate to that. I think.
god: He was very earnest in his explanations, and I loved that about him, but after a few million years of being 'educated' in the 'laws of Physics and Chemistry' I threw up my hands.
me: I can understand that.
god: Did you know that 'Human blood contains Hemoglobin which contains Iron which can only be manufactured in obese stars?'
me: Yes.
god: Did you know that obese stars blow up, scattering iron everywhere?
me: So they tell me.
god: See?! What nonsense.
me: So you began to doubt your consultants?
god: Exactly. It was all waaaaay too complex.
me: But you spoke the magic words anyway?
god: I DID. The explosion nearly killed us all.
