What a Mess!

(1)

What a mess! I can tell you, folks, that it is far from easy to create a synthesis of modern science and ancient religion, especially when you're drunk. If I may summarize our 'progress' in this regard:

God was poking around in the future and stumbled on a movie which He liked. The name of the movie was, "Pleasantville.' God liked the movie, especially the beginning of the movie where the folks in Pleasantville behaved in a very mild and predictable manner week after week. Their world was black and white and shades of grey not only spectroscopically but behavorily. God found this world soothing and He must have longed for angels who had similar characteristics.
He ordered a team of his best and brightest angels to create a a real version of Pleasantville.

God did this as a last resort. He had tried but failed to create his own version.

The Design Group went to work on the problem. They worked for twenty four million years, then presented a detailed plan to God. They explained that a 'Pleasantville' was not possible in Supernature, that another, 'parallel universe,' would need to be created. They presented God with all the documentation, including the magic words for creation, 'Let There Be Light.'

They attempted to educate God in the basics of this new universe; however God, in what must have been the most spectacular premature ejaculation in history, uttered the fateful words immediately.

The explosion which followed burned many butts including God's, and not only butts but egos were burned as well. It was a disaster.

This event led to a falling out between God and His original design group.

God waited and waited for His Pleasantville population to appear, but the new universe was nothing but chaos for billions of years. He began to think that the Design Group was incompetent or worse.
