In he walked, grandly and composedly, appealing to us, the fictitious audience. In the empty room he sat, admiring masterpieces on the vacant walls and flipping pages of unwritten books. Another man entered through the opposite wall. He had a slow gait and ages passed before he reached the other man a few minutes later. They sat opposite and equal and began to contradict. “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” “A cluster of atoms in empty space.” “And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.” “These atoms were made up of particles, protons, electrons and neutrons.” “God called the light ‘day’ and the darkness he called ‘night’.” “These particles in turn were made up of strings of energy.” “And God said “Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water. God called the expanse ‘sky’.” “There was a great build up of energy.” “And God said ‘Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry land appear’.” “This energy let loose in an explosion known as the Big Bang.” “God called the dry ground ‘land’ and the gathered waters he called ‘seas’.” “And so was the universe created from the nothingness, as yet empty.” “Then God said ‘Let the land produce vegetation’.” “In the universe were galaxies and stars and planets.” “And God said ‘Let there be lights in the expanse sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years’.” “The universe was expanding rapidly and so the distances between planets and galaxies and stars became huge. He also made the stars.” “God made two great lights – the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night, and to separate light from darkness.” “One galaxy called the Milky Way had a solar system with a sun and nine uninhabitable planets.” “And God said, ‘Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky’. God blessed them.” “Over millions of years these planets evolved. One became habitable, the planet Earth.” “And God said, ‘Let the land produce living creatures.’ And it was so.” “Tiny organisms inhabited the oceans. They evolved and left the seas.” “The God said, ‘”Let us make man in our image, in our likeness and let them rule.” “After millions of years man evolved.” “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” “Man developed thought and destroyed his Earth” “God said to the man ‘Dust you are and to dust you will return’.” The creator smiled knowingly and began to laugh. The laughter was heard through the chamber where the two sat and was heard by the whole world. At a point in time and space, a new universe is created and this one is destroyed. Laughter reverberating in empty space.
Origianlly written for a competition. Used theme of science vs. Religion and the lack of communication between them. Somewhat influenced by time spent at Catholic school, but one draws on one's experiences I suppose.
