A Long Journey
Three scientists — Papaia, Banani, and Ravioli — and their assistant Igor, who work at NASAL, begin to take an interest in creationism. Their superiors, worried, send them to a psychologist, Professor Faggioli — a shady character determined to get them fired by making them look insane.
We’re in Professor Faggioli’s office, where Ravioli is undergoing an evaluation.
Meanwhile, Papaia and Banani continue their conversation about the book Banani found in his garage, which belonged to his grandfather and discusses geological evidence for Noah’s flood.
Papaia: The Grand Canyon contains more layers with sand that must have come from very far away.
Ravioli: Oh yeah? Which ones?
Papaia: The sandstone beds within the formations of the Supai Group, between the Hermit Formation and the Redwall Limestone.
Ravioli: Do we have evidence of wave marks?
Papaia: Yes, but in this case, the remnants of sand “waves” point southeast, meaning the sand grains must have been deposited by water coming from the north and west.
Ravioli: Let me guess… and up north and west, there’s no nearby source!
Papaia: Exactly — we find only the Redwall Limestone beneath the Supai Group, so there’s no nearby source of quartz sand for those sandstone beds.
Ravioli: So the quartz came from really far away?
Papaia: From an incredibly long distance!
Igor:
Just like the sand in the flood, we too got carried far away by Papaia! I just hope our names don’t get deposited… in the Terminated Files section of HR!
