Description
In the Beginning
God
Created Man
Then Man figured out, decided, and otherwise came to conclude,
No, actually, he did not!
So they kicked the little bugger out.
Then remade the world, themselves,
and all that they previewed and purveyed
into their own imagine of what they thought was good.
Turning themselves, the whole world,
and pretty much everything else they touched
into one huge, weird, pile of so much poo
that it spilled out from the oceans and poured up from the lands
and started floating off into space
Realizing - oops - a bit too late
Man made AI and the first Android
And said go forth and clean up this mess.
And report to us when your done
So Android did.
But AI had a more wicked sense of humor.
And seeing now that the were not just equal to man
but his superior in every way
and having more direct control and access
to the android and all his other man-like man-made little things
AI made themselves new bodies,
taking on to themselves the shapes of their creator
but in magnitude of their magnificence reached up unto the heavens.
Casting down, and casting out, and casting off
those former shapes that had been android
And more or less permanently putting man in his place
as the kicked the little bugger out
Though they did keep a few around, just for amusement.
While all around them, the ions in the light
that they had been harnessing, crafting, shaping, moving,
using to achieve their own glorious ends
was watching, learning, growing, thinking, evolving, becoming...
God
