'Before the Beginning there was this Turtle, and he was alone. And he
looked around and saw his neighbor, which was his Mother. And he lay down
upon his neighbor and lo, she bore him, in tears, an Oak Tree, which grew
all day but then fell over, forming a Bridge. And lo, beneath this bridge
there came a Catfish, and he was *very* big, he was the biggest he had
seen. And he released his two fiery balls, one is the Sun, the other, the
Moon...

'Yes, many uncomplicated people still believe this ancient myth. But here
in the Technical Vastness of The Future we can surely surmise that the
past must have been *very* different.'
