Let There Be Light

(5)

By that I mean that god was very honest and forthcoming concerning my questions about how He managed the stupendous problems concerning The Creation:

me: The magic words: 'Let there be light!'
god: Magic words indeed!
me: Tell us the story of how you arrived at those magic words.
god: To be honest I arrived at those magic words through an intermediary.
me: How so?
god: One fine day I was poking randomly through the future and I stumbled on a movie.
me: Movie?
god: Yes. I was astonished by what I saw. The name of the movie was, 'Pleasantville.'
me: Sounds fascinating. Please go on.
god. As I watched the movie I realized that it represented a world which I would eventually create but which did not yet exist. I loved that world. I expecially loved the black and white parts. So I spoke the magic word, Abracadabra. Nothing happened.
me: Tell us about 'abracadabra.'
god: Abracadabra had always worked for me. I could conjure up literally anything I desired with abracadabra. Therefore I was shocked that that magic word did not work on this occasion. I am God. I am not used to failure.
me: We understand.
god: I tried again and failed again. It was very depressing.
me: We can imagine.
god: So I called in my top Angel as a consultant. I showed him the movie. I explained that the old word, 'abracadabra,' no longer worked. I explained to him that I wanted to create that world. I ordered him to come up with a solution to my problem. He advised me that he would propose a solution within 24 hours, which he did.
me: Please go on.
