The Creation of Man — Martin Brant

Two Billion years after God created the Earth, His associates had populated the planet with all manner of plant life and creatures of every description. There were reptiles and mammals. There were birds and fish. Everything from the octopus to the orangutan. The problem was all the creatures did the same things, every single one of them. They searched for food and they copulated.



Not that He was dissatisfied by what His beloved associates had accomplished, He felt something was missing. Watching a chimpanzee one day, He was struck by an idea. Why not something entirely different, something unpredictable, adventurous, ambitious, creative? Why not a creature that thinks and reasons things out, that plans for tomorrow and seeks answers? Why not a creature that's curious about the world around him and gets himself into to and out of trouble? A creature called man.



The entire team dropped everything they were doing and went to work on the new project. Man, along with the workings of his body and mind slowly took form. It was Jarius, God's chief assistant in charge of personality traits, that realized man needed a mate, which led to the challenge of creating a woman. It was Jarius that designed man's libido, not forgetting the woman should be receptive to the results. It was Jarius, the most imaginative member of the team, that proposed humans should have the most conspicuous genitals of the entire animal world.
