A Genesis Story

The Genesis Story.. Through my dark little mind..

And so there was God.. He was a wonderfully powerful deity full of omnipotence and omniscience and omnipresence and many other omni things..  But God.. he was unhappy in a way.. 

Yes, he could achieve and succeed at any thing (see the omni things above).. but alas, He had not managed to achieve the one thing He truly desired.. And what in the blazing blue heaven's could God truly desire?  God wanted to achieve and create something which would be a reflection.. if not a mirror reflection.. of Him..

Now, God had made several unsuccessful attempts.. Aren't we glad it didn't take Him as long as it did Mr. Edison to get the light bulb right?!? Or.. that God didn't want something like Ford Pinto instead.. can you imagine if His reflection were a Pinto?!?  that would really suck ass!  

The local bystanders around God.. s0-called-angels.. chose to gather daily to watch God try and find pleasure in his pinto-like results.. So.. Mr. Omni-everything-God has been getting pretty annoyed with the lack of impressive results.. He presses on though and it comes to Him.. 

God has a plan.. 

And so God says to those bystanders.. I want seven days.. Seven Days of attention and focus.. and in that.. I will find my reflection..

The peanut gallery just nods in a nutty way.. 

On the first day.. God, looked out and said.. its pretty dark here.. i am going to need light in order to see my reflection.. 

And so, there was light.. 

And then on the second day, God said.. id like my reflection to be cast under the stars and heavens above.. 

And just as He said it, the skies cleared and the heavens formed above..

On the third day, God smiled to Himself .. and in that happy place, He said.. i can see the reflection of me beginning in the heavens.. but i think thats so high.. what about down below.. 

And so the earth was made.. 

And then on Day Four.. God thought.. it would be nice to see something handsome in the sky..

So, the sun and the moon were formed.. 

God said on Day Five.. Lets put some fish and yardbird out there for dinner!

And it was good..

It was still good on Day Six when God said.. All the animals need to get their groove on.. 

And they did and all the little baby animals were born.. 

And so on Day seven .. God paused.. He thought about all he had done but still wasnt sure he had made anything that could reflect him.. and so, he sighed a heavy breath..  So that when he sighed over the sand.. it stirred it.. and it blew.. 

The granules collided..swirled and twirled..

They were forming a figure.. and it there it stood.. 

God's reflection.. how did that happen.. the image of God.. found in seven days.. 

in His. slave..
