} In the beginning, there was the Oracle. And the Oracle said:
} "Let there be God!"
} And there was God. And the Oracle looked at God and saw that God was
} good, for the Oracle had created God in His image. And the Oracle
} bestowed upon God the right to all of creation. And the Oracle was
} happy.
} God then created the heaven and the earth. The earth had but a
} spherical form, and darkness covered the waters; and the spirit of God
} hovered over the waters. And God said:
} "Let there be light!"
} And there was light. God saw that the light was bad, for it burned
} the people's eyes, but he said, "Screw 'em! They'll get used to it!"
} He separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day and
} the darkness He called Night. And there was evening and there was
} morning, one day.
} Then God said:
} "Let there be a firmament between the waters, dividing them!"
} And God made the firmament, dividing the waters under the firmament
} from the waters above the firmament, and God called the firmament
} Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.
} On the third day, God noticed that his firmament needed physical
} support, so he called upon the Oracle again, to request assistance in
} maintaining Heaven, and the Oracle, wise one that He is, explained
} triangles, squares, and polygons of all sorts. And God understood, and
} created geometry, by which he measured the Earth, and made supports at
} strategic locations, and named these Mountains.
} And God said:
} "Let the earth bring forth grass, plants yielding geometrically
} shaped seed, and trees bearing fruit of every kind, with its seed in
} it!"
} And it was so. The earth brought forth grass, plants bearing
} geometrically shaped seed of every kind and trees yielding fruit of
} every kind, fruit with its seed in it. And God saw that it was good.
} And there was evening and there was morning, a third day.
} Then God said:
} "Let there be lights in the heavens to separate day from night! Let
} them mark out the seasons, the days, and the years, in swift geometric
} procession!"
} And it was so. God made the two great lights, the sun and the moon,
} the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the
} night; and the stars. God set them in the heavens, geometrically
} proportioned, to rule the day and the night, and to separate the light
} from the darkness by a line composed of an infinite number of points.
} And God saw that it was good, and becoming more geometric. And there
} was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
} Then God said:
} "Let the waters swarm with living creatures, and let birds fly above
} the earth under the heavens!"
} God created the great sea-beasts, and every kind of living creature
} with which the waters swarm, and also every kind of winged bird. God
} saw that it ws good, and God blessed them, saying:
} "Be fruitful and multiply geometrically, and fill the waters of the
} seas; and let the birds multiply on the earth!"
} And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
} Then God said:
} "Let the earth bring forth all kinds of living creatures, cattle,
} reptiles and wild beasts!"
} And it was so. God made every kind of wild beast, every kind of
} animal, and every kind of reptile; and God saw that it was good.
} Then God said:
} "Let us make man in our image, o great Oracle, after our likeness,
} and let him have mastery over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air,
} the animals, every wild beast of the earth, and every reptile that
} creeps the earth. He may have mastery over all of these things, but
} will never master Geometry."
} And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed
} into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
} So God created man in His own image.
} Then God blessed man, and said:
} "Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and
} have mastery over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and every
} living creature that creeps on the earth! And do not forget that the
} square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the
} other two sides!"
} Then the Oracle looked at man, and, being offended that man actually
} looked very little like the Oracle Himself, for the only mirrors
} available to God were the waters, which were filled with creatures from
} the sea, thus impairing His vision, the Oracle *ZOT*ted God until it
} became time for the next great flood.
}
} You owe the Oracle a shrine wherein ritual sacrifices will be
} performed.
