Some corners of my culture happen to take religion literally.

Time Lords believe in science and tradition. There are some few eccentrics who worship Eternals almost as deities, but they're a very small minority.

'Time Lords' sort've sound like their own higher power, to be honest.

To some races we have been in the past. [Narvin is not sure whether to be proud or ashamed of this.]

Well, well done, you.

How are things called Eternals not deities? I say this for intellectual discourse, naturally.

Eternals are powerful and exist outside of time and are therefore unaging, but they're not omnipotent. They can be captured or sometimes even destroyed. I often suspect that the Admiral is an Eternal, or something like one. They're known for dragging Ephemerals--which is what they call races like ours--out of their own time to use them for entertainment.

I see. I can sort've see how one might make that mistake, of thinking them god-like. If not very godly.
