ABSTRACT

We have been apprised of the sending of the universes upon thenway: the countdown and the blastoff.

Because of God’s problems with “before” and “after,” as alluded to in chapter 4, it is not easy to arrange in correct order the following (highly fragmentary) selection of God’s worldly adventures subsequent to the creation. The sequence to come is subject to some alteration. In one or two places I am responsible for interfering with what might be a more chronological tale. (Some of you will wonder whether the choice of adventures reflects a particular theological bias. Perhaps I can just say: We tried to work things out together; there was political give-and-take. God is a good politician, and I try to be one. In the latter connection, most of the subheads are mine.)

important animals, the ones I’d intended would rule My new planet.”2
