Why couldn’t Mase just buy a regular lock
for the door? He thinks he’s so handy.

I called the book
In the Beginning
because
it tells the truth of our beginnings. It’s only meant to complement the story
of creation in the Bible. Not to take away from it. Like we all know, God did
create Man, but the book clarifies that “in the beginning” He put them on Mars.

I stood up from the step and brushed the
dirt off the back of my pants. I walked into my study through the French doors.
I could hear the television on in the living room. I walked in there to see who
was watching it. As usual it was playing to an empty room. As I started to turn
it off, a news broadcast caught my attention. It was a story on the second
space vehicle sent to Mars for this series of planned missions by NASA. The
newscast showed the launching of the probe and in a voice-over the newscaster
explained that the probe was taking pictures of the surface of the planet,
searching for signs of life and sending back more soil samples. It had been
launched just this morning. It was being sent much earlier than planned.

Why were they sending up a probe for more
soil samples? Dirt is dirt.
What a waste of money
, I thought.

The newscaster continued, “On the local
front . . .”

Yes, the local news. Planet Earth. I know
that they should spend money that they used on space travel for the
preservation of life on this planet. Maybe, they will figure out my book is
true and keep what happened on Mars from happening on Earth.

I know that they would not find life up
there on that desolate red planet because
“Martian life” now resides on
Earth
. Our ancestors were lucky. The planet next door was available.
Another home for us may be light years away.

“Global warming,” the newscaster said, “is
having an alarming effect on our atmosphere. In the worst case scenario,
geologists predict that the poles, covered with glacial ice, could melt,
causing flooding over the entire globe with pandemic ramifications for this
planet. While this may be an event that won’t occur until sometime in the
remote future . . .”

“God help us,” I said out loud. I reached
over and turned off the TV.

Acknowledgments

 

To my very smart mother, who told me way
back in 1997 that I had to finish the book at some point. Well, Mommy, I did,
sixteen years later. Thank you, you have given me more than words can express.

To my editors back in ‘97 and during the
rewrite in 2011-12, thanks for your patience and help. Especially Rhonda
Crowder, editor extraordinary.

To my sisters, Jenann and Robbie, who
wanted to know why they weren’t in the book, well now you are! My sister
Dorothy and my many, many nieces and nephews (all the way down to great-great),
I love you.

And to my Hebrew translator, thank you.
