You have the wrong creation you ninny - eschatology and genesis

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

The naming of specific individuals suggests to me that a complete recycle
of time is intended.  Unlike some treatments of Norse myth or LORD OF
LIGHT, where there are god roles played by a progression of individuals
who reshuffle to replace losses from the previous age.
