the earth is round

in the beginning there was god.

now this god with a small 'g', he liked circles. (there are three circles in 'god'.) (god + a circle is 'good'.) (circles are good) (god is good)

so

in the beginning there was god and god created the world round.

then he made other round things, good things, to put in his world. Like the sun and the moon and big babbling bubbles.

and god saw that the sky and sea had a good many round things, but the earth did not.

so he made new creatures for the earth, creatures with half domed hands to hold round things in their palms. and he said to them

you will be the bearers of good things to come. good round things. round good things. things good, are round.

and then he chuckled, and proceeded to create balls

and he saw that it was good.
