On With the Story!!

Okay, where did I leave off yesterday? Okay.

Three hours after dinner is "sleep." Keiki apoligizes, pointing out that, ". . . Humans have gods because they're creative enough to 'invent' them, you know, realize that it's possible that they exist."

She explains that the Kinssa are 'Irriducible Complex,' that is, if they don't need it, they don't invent it. Hence why Jadie's never heard of television. (Or tenorvision, for that matter.)

Today I wrote mostly during band, because my father also woke up early and told me a bad joke. Trust me, even my bandmates didn't like it.

Okay, so Keiki and Jack are still talking. Jadie isn't there yet. That's kind of suspious, I guess, but nobody says anything. Jack and Keiki talk about how old the universe is. We all know about the cosmic clock. (Well, maybe not, but we do now.) That's Keiki's argument to Jack, who thinks the universe is only 6,000 years old. (This is based on the bible.) Jack is obviously a creation scientist. (Until we find out that he's never actually read the bible.)

Based on fossils on the Kinssian Homeworld, the planet is 2 billion years old. Jack argues that God put the fossils there to test their faith, which they never had. Keiki doesn't agree, but says that even if that were true, Kanaka, or Kinssa who can write, have been around for 2.3 million years. The Kinssa have lived evolution.

Jack wonders when the Kinssa became "genetically good." Keiki says that it was a trait derivied by Kanaka Ehi, or the first writers. She never corrects him. Except subtally.

Then he's all, "where's Jadie" 'cause it's almost lights out. Turns out, she's telling the Lieum Adam there plan. Oh! Bad idea! says Jack. Keiki disagrees. She's known him for 36 years (she don't look that old) and Jadie known him since birth.

"He-"

That's where I stopped. Dunno why. Class must've started. Or a tune in band. But I'll finish off the thought.

"He's on our side."
