Abstract

While the Big Bang was cooling and the laws of physics were congealing, authorities remained undecided whether God would provide comfort against the expanding darkness. To answer the question, one planet was seeded with humans equipped with conviction receptors tweaked either to an absolute faith in or complete denial of God. If, after a suitable period of mingling between the two groups, believers prevailed over doubters, God would be established in the firmament. If not, God would be scrapped.

当宇宙大爆炸正在冷却，物理定律正在凝结的时候，权威人士仍然不确定上帝是否会在不断膨胀的黑暗中提供安慰。为了回答这个问题，一个星球上的人类被配备了信念感受器，这些感受器被调整为对上帝的绝对信仰或完全否认。如果信仰者战胜了怀疑者，经过一段适当的时间，信仰者就会在天空中扎根。否则，上帝就会被废弃。
