[FGII-XR6]

IN THE BEGINNING, God created heaven and earth. However, HE was almost
immediately faced with a class action suit for failure to file an
environmental impact statement. He was granted a temporary permit for
the project, but was then stymied with a cease and desist order for the
earthly part.

Appearing at the hearing, God was asked why he began his earthly project
in the first place. HE replied that he just liked to be creative.

HE then added, "Let there be light!", but immediately the officials
demanded to know HOW the light would be made. Would there be strip
mining? What about thermal pollution?

God explained that the light would come from a huge ball of fire.

HE was then granted provisional permission to make light, assuming that
no smoke would result from the ball of fire; that he would obtain a
building permit; and to conserve energy, would have the light half the
time. God agreed to this, adding that he would call the light DAY and
the darkness NIGHT. Officials replied that they were not interested in
semantics.

God then said, "Let the earth bring forth green herb and such as many,"
adding, "Let waters bring forth creeping creatures having life; and the
fowl that may fly over the earth".

Officials pointed out this would require approval from the Department of
Game, coordinated with the Heavenly Wildlife Federation, and the
Audobangelic Society. Everything then seemed to be okay - until HE said
he wanted to complete the project in six days.

Officials said it would take at least 200 days to review the application
and impact statement. Following this, there would need be a public
hearing. Then there would be a further 10 to 12 months before ...

At this point, God created Hell.
