(dear god of progress... you speak about morals to give to life... but all we have is viruses and planned! bacteria. now, could you tell me how to teach something to them? you are asking for impossible things!)
(concept of fire is part of concept of energy, isn't it? i see somebody created a sun. that is good, because even though Earth core is hot, and surface warm enough to allow the most simple life, it still was way too cold)
the old one sit and saw. and something new entered the plane, filling it, energy. power, but different than the one of the gods. energy was heat, heat was energy, but energy was more than that, many other things could be done. and then a god took this energy and made a ball out of it, a sun, to give heat to primordia. and the old one was happy. and then another good created a gem, a gem made of the power of the gods, and threw it in the sky, to give light to everybody in present and future. and He was happy. then other gods came, evil arrived, but He wasn't angry. and came another god, the god of progress. calling for progress he decided not to let any life spawn in primordia, disappointing all the other gods. and He wasn't happy. to the new god He went, and to him He spoke
"morals you say, but what we have created now is too simple to understand them. you want to avoid their death, but can't you see that if there is life there must be death? since my creation life and death merged, and one can't exist without the other. to do what you want, we will have to create something complex before, complex enough to understand what we say. we can't do it backward like you want. Life, because of its own meaning, want to live, and won't extint itself so soon, unless we fail at creating it. what we need is not perfect life, but life that can learn, that can get better with time, life that try to keep life in this world. death can't be avoided, they will fight maybe, but as i said there must be death. let us create life, let us make it grow, let us shape it, and then teach to it. and you seem to forget that while we are gods, we are creating something that will move and think on its own, something that we can't control. and something we don't have any experience with, something more than the elemental forces from which we came. how could we know how to create life, without trying it ? there might be problems, but that is no reason to stop us. this is the first time, but will not be the last. we can believe that something is good and bad, but not everybody will agree, and we can't be sure of it till we try. in the future most of you will disagree, will fight. but from now we must learn to work and live togheter, or our creation will turn into distruction."
