A Stupendous
Scientific Discovery
by Michael A.
Kechula
“Ladies
and Gentlemen,” said Dr. Zanker, “we
are on the brink of a stupendous scientific
discovery. Tonight, through hypnotic regression
we will discover exactly how Earth was created.”
When the
applause died down, Zanker said to his assistant,
“Lie down, Susan. You are getting very
sleepy. Your eyes are getting heavier and heavier.”
Minutes later
Susan was in a deep trance.
“Go back
in time,” Zanker commanded. “Go back.
Way back. What do you see?”
“Egyptians
building pyramids.”
“Go back
even further. Where are you now?”
“I see
huge dinosaurs.”
“Go back
further. What do you see?”
“Nothing.”
“Wonderful!
This must be the moments preceding the creation
of Earth. Do you see anything in the sky?”
“Yes.
Three gigantic comets. Oh how horrible!
They’re colliding! They’re exploding!”
“Eureka!”
Zanker yelled. “We’ve discovered the
creators of Earth!”
“Susan,
do the comets have names?”
“Yes.”
“What are
they?”
“Larry,
Curly, and Moe.”
