Epilogue.
          
          
          
          
          
          The Children have made my logs available to the
          previous century, from their knowledge of the
          laws of time, and because they want you to know
          about where you are going at a point in Time
          when you might make decisions that could alter
          the future for better or worse for them.  They
          are not concerned with their own fate.  Only
          the fate of the Universe is important and the
          steps we take from now on can not interfere
          with that.
          
          You might say from reading this account that it
          leaves as many questions unanswered as there
          are answered ones.  And to that accusation, I
          would have to plead guilty.  But that's what is
          so wonderful about Science.  As soon as you
          learn something, it leads you to another
          question.  And you continue the quest of
          knowledge from one question to another.  The
          level of knowledge gets deeper and deeper, but
          you never reach the bottomline of any given
          question.  It's my feeling that God designed
          the universe to work this way.  Yes, I believe
          in a Supreme Being, the Creator of all these
          things, not because I was witness to so much
          creation recently, but because there seems to
          me that the overwhelming evidence of Science
          seems to point to the footsteps, the
          fingerprints of a Supreme Creator.  We may
          never know God as we might like to, but that's
          OK too, if God designed it to be that way.  I
          can live with that.  The very fact that so much
          is comprehensible and that so much is left for
          us to explore and guess at, is evidence enough
          to me of an order, a kind of guessing game that
          has the stamp of a very clever Creative force
          written all over it, between the lines, so to
          speak.
          
          This is probably the way it should be.  Think
          about it.  If you were suddenly God, you
          wouldn't want all the problems that come to a
          God, so you keep yourself at a distinct
          distance.  Look at all the problems that
          celebrities go through.  God, being the biggest
          celebrity of all would have an even tougher
          time.  We're so lucky that we are able to get
          as close as we do, when you think of it.  In my
          case, we got very close.  We were so close, I'm
          convinced we had a special audience with the
          'Man Upstairs' as they say.  But God, as you
          might have seen with us, is not a man or a
          woman, but a kind of music.  Everything else
          we've seen in this affair had to do with music.
          The music of Science is there for anyone to
          'hear' with their hearts.  It's not the kind of
          music you hear with the ears, or see with the
          eyes, or feel with the fingers.  The Creator of
          all things is an energy that you feel with each
          cell of your being.  When you know something at
          this level, it's part of the this original
          music we've experienced here.
          
          I don't believe I can be more specific than
          this.  I know this is hard to explain, but I
          was there at the moment of the birth of a
          completely new entity in the universe as we
          know it.  How all the pieces came to be so
          closely related and all the questions, I know
          you must have will be the subject of a major
          study that Ellen and I have already begun on
          our return journey.  We're asking ourselves
          some very basic questions.  I'm not sure we
          have the energy left to give you any more
          answers.  But I know the realization of what
          happened to us out there on Darwin will be of
          value to some of you, maybe even all of you at
          some point in your lives.
          
          If you ever have doubts about your purpose in
          life, if you're ever so down in the dumps you
          might actually consider ending your life, if
          you ever have something happen to you that is
          so difficult to accept and is so
          heartbreakingly painful that you don't think
          there could be a God watching out for you, then
          just remember this incident on Darwin.  Take
          some consolation from the fact that life seems
          to be the most important thing in the universe
          and that you as a living thing, participate in
          this great on-going celebration.  Take it to
          heart.  Learn from it.  Take courage.  Hang in
          there just a little longer.  There is always a
          better time just one thought away.
