In the Beginning

In the beginning, there was nothing. At least in the Solar System, situated deep
in the Milky Way Galaxy, that is. There was nothing as far as Yahweh, or Allah, or
Brahma, or Ganesha, or Mirwxf, or Baal, any of the Buddhist gods, or any of about
five hundred other different names for whoever was in charge of a little speck of
nothing planet called Earth was concerned. The Hare Krishnas, the Mormons and
the Scientologists wouldn't join the party until several million years later.
