Three scientists — Papaia, Banani, and Ravioli — and their assistant Igor, who work at NASAL, begin to take an interest in creationism. Alarmed, their superiors send them to a psychologist, Professor Faggioli — a shady character determined to get them fired by making them seem insane.
We’re in Professor Faggioli’s office, where it’s now Banani’s turn.
Meanwhile, in the waiting room, Papaia and Ravioli are talking about a book Banani found, about the geological evidence for Noah’s Flood.
PAPAIA
(Loudly, pointing at an empty chair)
Oh… Look over there! Banani’s book. He forgot it!
RAVIOLI
What book?
PAPAIA
It’s interesting, you know? Banani found it in the garage. It belonged to his grandfather. It talks about the geological evidence for the Great Flood.
RAVIOLI
(Mouth full)
Evidence? Like… ark fossils?
PAPAIA
(Flipping through the book, serious)
No, no ark. But if you take the Genesis account as a base… according to this book, geology shows exactly what you’d expect from something like the Flood.
For example — listen to this — you find marine fossils on mountaintops, above sea level. As if the oceans once covered the continents.
RAVIOLI
(Stops chewing)
Huh?
PAPAIA
Then: rapid burial of plants and animals. Like, not slow death… but boom, quickly buried by sediments. Like in a catastrophe.
RAVIOLI
(With a shiver)
Like… geological lasagna.
🤣🤣🤣
PAPAIA
(Hesitant, then nods)
…In a way, yes. Layers of sediment laid down fast, spread over huge areas. And the strange part is, the sediments seem to have been transported from far away — like something pushed them there with force.
RAVIOLI
(Looking at the book, both curious and skeptical)
Wow. Interesting! Definitely worth digging into!
IGOR
Yeah, that’s also what you said last Friday in the cafeteria…
when they were serving amatriciana!
🤣🤣🤣
