In the beginning there was utter darkness. Nothing but possibilities and energy drifting through endless space. A supreme being presided over space with his host of holy angels. His title was God and he possessed the power to do anything no matter how mighty or small. These powerful beings, preceded all time and space as we know it. Gd and these angels eventually grew weary of existing without anything to govern or watch. So God devised a plan. He would create a second, inferior kingdom to
