Three scientists — Papaia, Banani, and Ravioli — and their assistant Igor, who work at NASAL, start getting interested in creationism. Their superiors, worried, send them to the psychologist, Professor Faggioli, a questionable character determined to get them fired by making them look insane.
We are in Professor Faggioli’s office, where Ravioli is undergoing evaluation.
Meanwhile, Papaia and Banani continue the conversation about the book, found by Banani in the garage, which belonged to his grandfather, discussing the geological evidence of Noah’s flood.
Banani (pointing to the details on the map with a pen):
“Look here. The sand formations in the Coconino Sandstone show waves slanting to the south. This tells us that the water that deposited the sand came from the north.”
Papaia (scrutinizing the map):
“So, the sand didn’t come from the south as one might think?”
Banani (nodding confidently):
“Exactly. The direction of the sand waves is clear. And there’s another important clue: the Coconino thins out and disappears to the north, in Utah, while the Hermit Formation continues to stretch eastward into Utah and beyond.”
Papaia (thoughtfully):
“So, if the sand thins out to the north, that means its origin was further north, right?”
Banani (smiling, satisfied):
“Exactly. The pure quartz sand of the Coconino must have come from an even farther northern source, beyond the reddish-brown formation of the Hermit. This means the material was transported over long distances.”
Igor:
“The Coconino bears the marks of the waves. Similarly, our salary is marked by the waves on which… Papaia’s decisions go.”
