Nature and Supernature

(6)

god: He returned in the allotted time and explained that the problem was too complex for him to solve without huge amounts of time and angelpower. I gave him all the angelpower and all the time he needed. I demanded a solution to My problem. He agreed. He agreed to get back to me within twenty four million years.
me: Long time.
god: Not long at all.
god: He got back to me with four words. Four new words. He explained to me that when I spoke those four new words my new world would be created.
me: You must have been very excited.
god: I WAS. But he kept going on and on. He began by explaining that there would be two 'natures' after I spoke the new magic words.
me: Two 'natures?'
god: Nature and Supernature.
me: Hmm. Sounds fascinating. Go on.
god: I too was fascinated. But as he explained more and more about this new 'Nature' I became bored and frustrated.
me: How so?
