"No evidence. Not a shred. Same old, same old. 'Living organisms are so complex that the best evidence is that a higher intelligence designed them'." Beka snickered. "It's not religion, though. Oh no. Because they never 'name' the designer as God. And yet, the law firm hired to represent the position is two Roman Catholics who've defended anti-abortionists and anti-gay rights activists." Her world might have its issues, but at least this had been resolved.

"It doesn't necessarily have to be Christians," Ivanova says, shamelessly butting in. "Scientific creationism based on the book of Genesis applies to Judaism and Islam, as well." She made a face. "And trust me, I use 'scientific' in the loosest of loose senses. Have you heard the theory about what caused the stratification of fossils in the ground?"

Beka turned to face the girl she'd not met. "Hey. Beka Valentine. And, no, I hadn't realized that about the other religions, but I'm not surprised. Future-bunny myself. You too, right?" She shook her head. "Do tell the theory. This ought to be rich."

Ivanova grinned. "Ivanova. Future-bunny, as well. I am stealing that phrase for future use." She pauses, trying to remember the whole thing. "Well, it boils down to the reason that there are stratified layers of rock is that during the Great Flood it settled in layers after the turmoil of the waters. But the things nearer the bottom layers are the ones that died first, and thus sank to the bottom first. Humans are near the top because we could swim." She shakes her head. "Not a word of a lie."

Duce had been listening to the conversation with interest, quirking a smile. "Nice theory."

"Charming." Beka shook her head, smirking. "At least we know it gets a little better."
