Intelligent Design? No, the Universe 0.2a.
Put away your bible, spaghetti, or biology book because I know the origins of the universe and the human race. That’s right, I KNOW.
Birthplace.
Dexter, from Dexter’s Lab on Cartoon Network, has a secret laboratory under his bedroom. It is your standard boy-genius lab with cabinets lined with blinking lights, multicolored liquids in flasks and tubes of varying sizes, a computerized female voice, robot servants, incomplete projects, and flying machines. - Garden variety secret lab stuff. For most of the series, we are led to believe that this is THE LAB, but that is not exactly true.
In one episode, Dexter loses control of his flying sled and ends up in what looks like a junkyard. Scattered about are the remains of unfinished or failed experiments, dark cabinets with missing or burntout LEDs, wrecked equipment, and shadows. (It’s not a pretty sight.) Dexter comments, “I must be in the old part of the lab.” Partially functioning robots and experiments emerge from the shadows. “We were your greatest experiments,” they squeak and take off after Dexter, in an attempt to exterminate him. (They fail, but you have to admire their effort.)
We, humans, are in the “old part of the lab,” and if God or the Flying Spaghetti Monster ever shows His/Her/Its face in the “old part of the lab”, He/She/It had better be prepared for a chilly reception.
