29:50 – Dave in Kentucky begins his own translation of the Hebrew Bible as follows: “In beginning, gods created the skies and the land, and the land was unformed and empty. And darkness covered the ocean surface, and wind from the gods blew across the surface of the waters. Then said the gods, ‘Let it become light,’ and it became light. And the gods saw that the light was beneficial, and they alternated it with the darkness. They called the time of the light ‘day’, and the time of darkness ‘night’. Thus there was evening and morning from Day One.”
More than a translation, this is an interpretation and an elucidation of Earth’s history involving two different groups of alien gods, the original creator gods and the much-later Yahweh Elohim. Epic in scope, yet condensed to thirty minutes of audio, it is a story of technologies as diverse as weather modification, terraforming and lawn sprinkler installation.
