Myth
Alice's newest theories about how the earth was made:
"Maybe a giant crow made it."
"That's a neat idea. How did the crow make the world?"
"He cawed into the sky five times and the world was made and space and everthing. Or maybe turtles, a whole stack of a hundred turtles standing on each other's backs and--boom!--they made the world."
I told her that no one knows what started it all, but people have been making up stories about it since their were people--God, the Big Bang, the turtles' boom. I told her that we know that once the earth was here things started to happen little by little, one thing and then another and another and another until one little creature had become a million little creatures, all changing and growing and moving.
And she said, "Until there was everything--all the animals and even us and even AdRock--and all the places were there--China and Arizona and everywhere."
Yep. Something like that.
