While the deity explored his home, I looked for something interesting and found it; a planet that had life. Sorry, a planet that would have life in a few billion years. It was the right distance from the sun, had water, had oxygen and carbon dioxide...everything you need to make living beings. Aside from deities, of course. Those were special.

I jump started the planet by fixing the percentage of gases and moving it a bit closer to the sun for a more optimal temperature. Soon, single celled organisms would form. I waited for a few of the planet’s years, and when I looked down, there they were. I would have made them myself, but I wanted to see what evolution had in store for them. Not bad. I’d make a few adjustments, but the organisms worked.

A couple decades later, I decided to check on the deity. When I found him, he had travelled across a couple hundred galaxies and was currently looking at a black hole.

“Careful,” I warned, “getting sucked into that would hurt”. He shook at my words, not knowing I was there. “I know, it almost happened a while ago,”. I thought about telling him about the planet so he could use units of time, but I decided to surprise him once more evolved lifeforms had appeared.

“So...what do you think of the Universe?” I asked the deity. I hoped he liked it. “It’s amazing...so much information, it would take me forever to learn it all!” That made me laugh. “What if I told you that I learned it all in less than a millisecond?” That shocked him. “Well...you made me, so I guess it makes sense…”

Suddenly, I got an idea. “What if, to help you understand the Universe, I made more deities?” This really startled him, but after a second of thinking, he agreed happily. “Really? That’d be great!” He seemed to like the idea of having a couple friends to help him in his research. “Alright, they’ll be here in a moment.”

With that sentence, I found a few more small galaxies that I could destroy. In the end, I had enough atoms to create six more deities. I made them almost exactly like the first, but with a few tweaks so they would have separate personalities. It didn’t take very long.

Soon enough, they woke up, confused. They weren’t as scared as the first, because they weren’t alone. They asked each other who and where they were but, obviously, none of them knew. This time, I wanted the first deity explain everything to them. I figured they wouldn’t see him as one of them if I, their almighty creator, said they were supposed to help him explore the Universe. This way, they would be more equal. I brought the first one to them, and hoped their conversation would be amusing.
