Man on PA: Heading for
the neutral zone.

Avoids a hit
along the boards!

Now in the net, shoots...

And that one is smacked away
by Patrick.

The puck is driven
behind the Panther net.

Going after it is Stayner
for the Monarchs.

And a solid hit by
Van Fleet in the corner,

as Temple now controls the puck
and breaks out of the zone.

Here comes Teller
along the boards.

He fires one top,
shoots it just wide.

And here he comes again,

the Monarchs' young sensation,
Blake Truman.

You can feel the electricity
in the crowd when Blake

gets in his zone.

It's Truman,
in alone on the net.

Panther goalie Tony Patrick
hasn't had much success.

Now it's Little Pistachio,
heading into the board.

And a thunderous hit
by Walhart

sends him
tumbling onto the ice.

He's spun around by
the Panther defense.

Jumping on the loose puck
is Truman,

and Patrick covers up.

Gets himself to the net.

He shoots, he scores!

Nice shot by
Blake Truman.

There's a scramble
in front of the Monarch net.

And Monarch goalie Tyler Ross
comes up with a glove save,

and he's joined by a host of
players from both teams.

Building up head steam
through the neutral zone.

Avoids a monstrous hit
by Green.

And he's finally
upended by Bradford

with a vicious hip check.

Truman over
to Shane Thomas.

Breaking in all roads.

He shoots.

He scores!

Time is winding down now in
the third period,

which has 15 seconds left.

The crowd on their feet,
cheering on their Monarchs!

And here they come, their final
rush to the gate!

It's Truman slicing
the puck to Laughton!

Now Laughton back to Truman as
he's taken out of the play!

Truman with the puck!

That's it!

It is over!

A one-sided affair
by the score,

but Temple fought all the way.

That was insane!

Woo!

Yeah!

Hi, Blake Truman?

And who wants to know?

I'm Kerry Wells.

Hope you don't mind if
I sit down for a minute.

So I see you're
a classic-lit major.

What, are you writing
a book?

No, actually,
I'm with the school paper

and I'm doing a story on Madison
College's new hockey super jock.

Aren't you the lucky one?

So, Blake, tell me
about yourself.

This isn't gonna be
one of those

he-was-born-in-a-log-cabin,
walked-to-school-every-day-

six-miles-uphill-both-ways
epics, is it?

I have to start
somewhere, I'm sorry.

Let's just skip the trivia

and get right to
the important part.

You know, the "how'd you get
to be so great" part.

okay.

So where were you born?

You know, in order for this
to be a really good story,

there needs to be
some serious empathy

between the writer
and subject.

Here, I'll show you.

Kerry, wasn't it?

Classic lit
and a steel-trap memory.

So tell me, Kerry.

- How's your love life?
- Excuse me?

You heard me.

You hooking up with anyone
special right now?

I don't think that
that's any of your business.

But it is--
You know, the empathy thing.

Creating that link between
the interviewer

and the interviewee.

So are you?

I was, if you must know.

Was, huh?
Was it serious?

Well, I thought so.

- Who broke it off?
- I did.

Why?

Because he wanted something
I don't plan to share

until I'm married.

What?

Classic lit, staggering
intellect, but very bad hearing.

No, I just-- I thought I heard
you say you were--

"Chaste" is the word I
believe you're stumbling over.

Close enough.

It's just, I've never met
a chaste girl before.

Really?

Well, this must be
your lucky day.

Let me guess,
I bet you're a believer.

And you figured that out
with only one question.

- You're so smart.
- man: There he is.

- What's going on, man?
- Hey.

Don't forget about the chalk
talk this afternoon, all right?

Yeah, man.

We know, we know, we just
wanted to get a closer look

at your new friend
over here.

Kerry Wells,
this is Shane Thomas,

Tyler Ross and
Chase Laughton.

Pistachio?

I'm good, thank you.

- Guys, I'm gonna be famous.
- All right.

Front-page news,
"Madison Guardian."

Nice.

Hey, you know, I got some
pictures of this superstar

Lying naked on a bearskin rug
when he was just a cub.

Can I get some copies
of those?

- I will sell them to you.
- Come on, guys.

All right,
it was nice to meet you.

Bye, you guys.

We'll see you at
the rink, yeah?

- Take it easy.
- All right.

- Pound it, pound it.
- Bye.

- I gotta get to the rink.
- See you tonight.

Are you coming
to the game later?

I wasn't planning on it.

Change your plans.

I'll score a goal
for your story

and then later we can go to
Gatsby's and have a drink.

I'll tell you all about
the long walk to school.

I'll think about it.

Hey, just sit close
to the ice.

I'll look for you.

What's going on, buddy,
how you doing, man?

You got some stuff on your--

oh, oh, no.

How's it going, guys?

What's going on fellas, man?

Glad you made it,
glad you made it.

Yo Blake,
who's the new squeeze?

That's your girl?

Seriously, dude,
she's really cute.

She's got those big
baby-deer eyes.

Like I told you guys, man,

she's just writing a story on me
for the "Guardian."

- Uh-huh.
- oh, right.

Dude, you score more off the ice
than you do on, I swear.

That's a quote for the
article, dude, take that down.

No, no, no, not this one.

She's a Christian,
Bible thumper.

Pure as the driven snow.

man: All right, everybody,
settle down.

Gather round, listen up.

Pay attention, guys.

You all played a great game
last night,

but Temple's a team that

bounces back strong
after a loss.

Tonight's gonna determine
whether or not we deserve

our number-one ranking.

- Ross.
- What's that?

Nothing.

Now, this has been a team
effort and we all know that.

But I'd be disingenuous

if I didn't point out the
obvious fact here that Blake

has brought an extra dimension
to the club this year.

Is there anything you'd like
to say to the guys, Blake?

No, Coach,
just that I really--

really glad to be skating
with you guys this year.

Really glad, man.

Now look, I want you guys
to get an early dinner,

be back at the rink
by 5:30.

5:30, Shane.

First, we're gonna go over
a few plays for tonight's game.

woman: Becky, you're late

with the first part
of that anthology.

That story is due
next Thursday.

The ad file.

I need that want-ad file.

Hello?

Anytime now, kids.

Thank you.

Becky.

( phone ringing )

Hello?

No.

I swear, nobody knows how to
handle deadlines anymore.

Hey, come here.

What are you guys
doing tonight?

Well, we thought about
flying to Paris,

but the airport's snowed in.

So why don't you come
to the game with me then?

- What game?
- The hockey game.

I don't know anything
about hockey.

I know the players
are kind of cute.

- Why?
- I'm doing a story.

man on PA: Good evening,
everyone,

and welcome to
Madison College's Sportsplex

for tonight's game between
the Temple Panthers

and your Madison Monarchs.

If last night's game
is any indication,

we should be in for a
fast-paced affair this evening.

For those of you who are on
another planet

or simply missed it,
last night the Monarchs sailed

to a six-one impassioned
attempt.

Look for the Panthers
to be in a foul mood tonight.

They're looking for some
revenge.

And you can bet your skates
that Coach Edwards

isn't gonna let his
Monarchs go complacent

after last night's big win.

You gotta remember three weeks
ago when Temple

took a similar trouncing
at Baldwin Friday night.

And reversed the upset
the very next night.

Oh, I remember well.

Let's sit down here.

Tonight's clash will be
the final game

before the Christmas break
as the Monarchs seek

to hold onto first place
in the Western Conference.

All right, Kerry,
which one is Blake?

oh, he's right there,
number three.

How come you get all
the good stories, Kerry?

- You know what I'm working on?
- What?

Where kids are going
for Christmas.

Beats my assignment--

writing about the computer
upgrade in the admin office.

Who's that guy
in front of the net?

oh, that's Tyler,
he's the goalie.

He's cute.

You think all hockey
players are cute.

Yeah, well,
he's more cute.

We're all set to go as
referee Tom Oliver

gets ready to drop the puck
and signals both goalies

that this game is
about to get underway.

Madison in their home
red uniforms

and Temple once again donning
their ominous black sweaters

for tonight's game.

And here we go!

The opening face-off
controlled by Temple.

And they can't control
the puck,

it's intercepted by Greg Shift
for the Monarchs

and driven into
the Panther zone.

Again, the action is end-to-end
as both teams

have had scoring chances...

... from the Monarchs goes back
to retrieve the puck

and circles around
the back of the net.

... along the goal line...

And here come
the Monarchs back

as this capacity crowd
is back on their feet.

He shoots, he scores!

And there's two minutes!

Just as he releases
the pass...

... Panther zone
along the far boards...

He shoots, he scores!

What a move by Truman,
dipping his shoulder to Shockey

and flipping the puck over his
shoulder and into the net!

Monarchs win!
Monarchs win!

And Madison will head to the
Christmas break in first place

with this big weekend sweep
over Temple.

Good night and
Merry Christmas, everybody.

Thank you very much.

Bull, Bull, Bull, Bull,
Bull, Bull, Bull, Bull!

Bull, Bull, Bull!

Yeah, Bull, yeah!

Bull, Bull, Bull,
Bull, Bull, Bull!

A wellspring of talent,
this place called Gatsby's.

oh, Bull just might
be that missing link

you paleontologists are
always talking about.

oh, wait,
you gotta watch this.

Bull, Bull, Bull!

Bull, Bull, Bull!

Yeah!

Bull!

- Is that a trick?
- No, no, that's for real.

I gotta go take a leak.

Hey Bull, Bull baby,
Bull, Bull, Bull, Bull,

when you go to the bathroom

and you eat that little white
mint in the urinal,

it's gonna taste
like bad cottage cheese,

just a warning, bro.

I got your... back,
in the...

oh, hey, yeah.

Yeah, good tip.

oh, Blake!

Good game.

- Thanks, Bull, yeah.
- Yeah!

Ladies, ladies.

These puck smackers,
they're not doing it for you,

I know it's true.

How about you come over here

and have a beer
with some real men?

Why don't you just take Tiny
and get out of here, all right?

Blake, funny one.

You know, hockey,
that's a game for fairies.

This is so educational.

You know, you guys
almost make me a believer.

- Believer in what?
- Darwin.

I mean, you guys actually
make me think that some men

did devolve from apes.

- We're monkeys.
- Like from the zoo.

Nice.

Very, very nice.

Chase: I don't-- We don't even
know these ladies.

- oh, yeah.
- Rita.

Rita, Chase,
nice to meet you.

I'm Shane, I'm Shane.

Nice to meet you.

You should ask him
to eat a chip.

oh, do you want
something to drink?

Hi, yeah, I'll have
a Diet Sprite, please.

I'll take a Coke.

I'll have what he's having.

Actually, Kerry's going to
change her order to wine,

because that's what
Jesus drank.

Thank you.

Thank you, Tyler, I am actually
aware of this fact,

but I happen to like
the taste of Sprite better.

Can I touch your hand then?

'Cause I've never touched
purity before.

I see I've been critiqued.

I just call it the way I see it,
that's all.

Seriously, Kerry, you seem
like an intelligent girl.

You don't really believe in that
religious hokey-pokey, do you?

That hokey-pokey was
out the door,

Like bazillions
of years ago, right?

Like, the first stuff in the
beginning of the Bible.

- The Genesis part.
- The Genesis part, yeah.

The heaven and the earth
created in six days?

Six days?

It was a "quadrillion"
at least.

They have, like, a pile of dead
dinosaur bones to prove that.

You believe whatever
you want to believe, but--

Religion is only for people
on death row

or little old ladies
with lots of cats.

Whoa, present company
excluded.

Thank you.

The Bible's a fantasy,
like a really old Harry Potter.

'Arry Potter!

Well, I happen to see things
a little bit differently.

That being what?

Well, I believe that science
will catch up with the truth

of the Bible one day.

Doesn't really seem like
we're gonna get

much interviewing done tonight,

so can I talk to you
over there?

Tyler: Well, I guess that
puts us in our place

about all we know
about science.

- Excuse me.
- Right, Little Pistachio?

Chase: I have a present for you,
Michaele.

- Yes?
- It's a pistachio.

Shane: Nobody wants your
pistachios, Chase.

- He always carries them.
- I always do, don't I?

It's his thing.

It's the--
It's my thing.

We even call him
Little Pistachio.

- Why?
- Because he's nuts.

Not as big as full-grown
pistachio.

Come to church
with me tomorrow.

- I don't think so.
- Why not?

What harm could it do?

I don't know, I just--
I don't want to.

It's the church at the corner
of Lafayette and Third.

Starts at 10:00 a.m.
and I'll meet you outside.

I gotta go,
but I'll think about it.

Guys, I gotta go.

- I gotta go.
- Dude, oh, whoa.

What, what, no.

- I gotta meet somebody.
- All right, man.

- All right.
- What's her name?

Just tell me her name.

Have fun on your date.

He's got more girls than
a dog's got fleas,

and you can go to the
Humane Society and count that.

- That's a promise.
- Charming.

All right, bro.

( door opening )

Are you gonna be staying
tonight, Blake?

No-- no, not tonight.

- Are there any changes?
- No, nothing.

Thanks.

( choir singing )

I almost gave up on you.

Yeah, well,
I almost didn't come.

We don't bite.

Really.

# This is our Father's world #

# oh let us not forget #

# Although the wrong is great
and strong #

# God is the ruler yet ##

In the beginning, God created
the heavens and the Earth,

and the Earth was
without form and void.

And darkness was on the face
of the deep,

and the spirit of God hovered
over the face of the Earth.

Genesis is a book
that answers most,

if not all of the basic
questions of human life.

Genesis, in some ways,
is almost philosophical.

It is the Jewish
and the Christian answer

to the origins of human life.

Almost every thinking person
in virtually every culture

around this planet has,
at some point in their lives,

asked themselves this question,

"Where did the world
come from?"

Now, if you are attentive
to your surroundings,

if you notice how the world
changes and develops,

then at some point, you must
have wondered about this.

The sheer size of the universe
compared to the minute detail

of a DNA strand amazes me.

Think about that
for a minute.

Some night, drive out of this
city, away from the lights,

and look up at the night sky.

Millions of stars.

Too many even to take in.

Lights in the sky so far away
that their distances

are almost
incomprehensible to us.

And then the amazing detail,

the microscopic detail
of a strand of DNA

that forms the basic structure
of a human being.

All the strands
and parts in place

and each contributing
to the formation

of an individual
human person.

Genesis is not an easy book
to understand,

and that is
a problem for you and I.

We are post-Enlightenment
people.

We've been trained,
whether we realize it or not,

to think scientifically...

Mom, is Dad coming with us
to church today?

No, sweetheart, not today.

Daddy's going to Alaska.

He's gonna help some people try
to put together a mining deal.

He's gonna help them
raise the money.

We want to know
the dates and the weights.

We want to know the distances
and the times.

But the author of Genesis
is much more interested

in the big picture of life.

In the Book of Genesis,

we're gonna see the basics
of human life

Lived in relationship to God.

We're going to see that God
created the universe.

We're going to ask ourselves,

did God create our planet
and everything in it?

We're going to be
looking at such questions

in the coming weeks and see how
Genesis answers them.

For today, though,
let us close in prayer.

Lord, we pray that you bless us
and keep us.

Lord, make your face
to shine upon us

and be gracious unto us.

Turn your face toward us
and give us peace.

Amen.

Have you eaten
breakfast yet?

No.

There's a cafe a little bit down
the road that I usually go to.

We can grab something to eat
and continue my interview?

okay.

You know, I thought we'd see
your parents in church

- this morning.
- No, they-- they were there.

You know, you would actually
like my dad.

He's all into, like,
guns and weightlifting

and all that manly stuff.

So, you have any plans
for Christmas?

Still a week away.

Haven't really given it
much thought.

You know, I was
wondering about the group prayer

at the end of the service.

Does it work better
if more people do it?

What do you mean?

I mean, does God pay more
attention to a lot of people

asking for something
rather than just one?

God hears everyone's prayers.

It's kind of like a pack
of K Street lobbyists

converging on a congressman.

I didn't know
you were political.

Yeah, well, I'm not.

It's just this image
I've conjured up

of all these
people bombarding God,

trying to get 'em to do
what they want.

I don't think
it works that way.

I don't think it works
at all.

So what's your major?

I'm a double major,
actually.

Journalism and paleontology.

Christian paleontologist.

That's somewhat of an oxymoron,
isn't it?

I don't think so.

Believe it or not,

you can actually believe in
the Bible and science.

If you say so.

I really, really like
paleontology a lot,

I just don't really know
what I'm gonna do with it

once I graduate.

So you got a second
fallback major,

something practical
like journalism.

Exactly.

You know, someone like you
with an engineer's mind

would really
like paleontology.

You should monitor my class.

That's Tyler who's into
the dinosaur bones.

That reminds me.

Last night at Gatsby's,

you were the one who said I was
a paleontology major.

How'd you know that?

I looked you up on
the school online directory.

I had to make sure
you were legit.

I see.

Charles Dickens Coffee Shop.

That's an appropriate place for
a reporter to hang out.

- Been here before?
- No.

No, but I assume it's named
after the same place in London

that Charles Dickens kept
offices in in the late 1860s.

Impressive.

A knowledge of literature other
than popular comic books.

See, if you're not gonna listen,
then I'm not--

No, I'm not gonna help you,
'cause you're not listening.

No, done, whatever.

- oh, hey, high-five.
- Hey.

Blake, I'd like you to meet
my brother Marc

and his fellow physics whizzes
Lin Chen and J.T. Bochner.

A real honor
to meet you, Mr. Truman.

Just Blake, Blake.

Not much of a hockey fan
until this year.

You brought
a real spark to the team.

We were at the game last night--
congratulations.

It locks up first place,
doesn't it?

For the time being.

I mean, there's a lot of season
left, so...

- Please, sit down.
- We don't want to intrude.

No, don't be silly,
this will be fun, sit down.

So I was hoping I would see you
in church this morning, Marc.

oh...

She bugs me about this
every week.

I leave religion
to Kerry and my dad.

For me, science answers
all the big questions.

Except for what happened

before one to
the minus-43rd second.

It's one times ten
to the minus,

and religion doesn't have
an answer for that, either.

Actually, it does,
but you don't want to listen.

It's not something you can prove
through empirical analysis.

Marc is one of those people that
doesn't believe anything is real

unless you can put it in
a test tube and shake it around.

Whatever.

Marc is a good physicist,

but he's a real genius
in movie history.

Go on, Blake,
ask him anything.

All right, Marc, 1940s
sports movie, Gary Cooper.

"Pride of the Yankees,"
good choice.

Starring Cooper,
Teresa Wright, Walter Brennan,

- and... and?
- Dan Duryea.

Yes, produced by Samuel Goldwyn
directed by Sam Wood,

distributed by RKO Pictures
with a cameo by Babe Ruth,

and it opened in New York,
July 14, 1942.

How much popcorn
did it sell in Biloxi

in its third week
of play there?

I don't-- I don't know.

See, he's not really as smart
as he thinks.

- Hey, Shane.
- Hey.

- How are you?
- I'm good, what's going on?

You guys, this is Shane,
Blake's friend.

Shane, I'd like you
to meet my brother Marc

and his fellow housemates,
Lin and J.T.

Hey, it's nice to meet you.

A friend of Blake's and also
a pretty darn good right winger

on the ice-- great game
last night, Shane.

Thanks.

Kerry: Would you care to join us
for some breakfast?

Thanks-- thanks, but no.

I just came here to get
a cup of coffee.

I'm helping Tyler
with his math assignments.

He's into fractions now
and he's a bit stumped.

Well, I'll catch you at
the house in a couple hours.

okay.

- All right.
- Bye.

- Bye.
- See you.

Are you guys roommates?

Yeah, yeah, he rents a room
at my mom's house.

Cool.

Marc, what kind of physics
do you study?

Astrophysics, minor
in quantum field theory.

J.T. is primarily molecular
and atomic physics,

and Lin is specializing
in general relativity

- and gravity theory.
- Wow.

Three pretty
exciting companions

for a New Year's Eve party,
right?

- oh, hi.
- Hey, Pops.

oh, hey.

Blake, I'd like to
introduce you to my dad.

You're--

I wanted to introduce
you at the church,

but you were late.

Meet the Reverend Jerry Wells.

You look a little different
without the robes on.

You look a little different
without your uniform on.

That was an interesting
sermon today, Reverend.

oh, Jerry, please.

And Blake, I'm a huge fan.

Kerry tells me that she's
writing a story about you.

She's trying, I haven't been
very cooperative.

Speaking of my story,
why don't we move over there

so I can actually
get to work?

Actually, I wanted to ask Marc
about quantum entanglement

- and Schrodinger's cat.
- Come, please.

Kerry, you gonna be home
for dinner tonight?

- Yeah, I'll be there at 6:00.
- It was nice meeting you.

Good to meet you.

How did you know about
quantum entanglement

and Schrodinger's cat?

I didn't,
I saw it on TV last week.

oh, clever you.

okay, so let's see what
we've got so far.

You were born in a log cabin,

you walked six miles to school
and back every day,

uphill both ways.

Then you went on
to become a nude model

and Chase has some pictures
coming,

and then you become
a super hockey player

for Madison College.

Sounds pretty good so far.

So I know you're
an engineering major,

which I found out from
the online directory,

but I'm sure my publisher

would like a few more details
here and there,

so why don't you
tell me a little bit more

about that log cabin?

Marc: It's all based in
Einstein's theory of relativity

and time dilation.

There's two brothers
and one of them is 23 years old

and he's an astronaut,

and there's a younger brother
and he's 16.

And his older brother
is always watching out for him,

and the older brother is put on
the first mission to the star

Proxima Centauri,
4.2 light years away.

Now, this mission takes
20 years, Earth time.

Marc, please,
I can't see through you here.

okay, fine, but for
the astronaut,

when he returns to Earth,
only four years have passed.

So he's like what, 27 now?

But the younger brother
who stayed on Earth,

20 years have passed for him
and he's now 36,

so now the younger brother
is now nine years older

than his older brother, and--

How can he be
nine years older than--

And, I'll just tell you why.

He's a police detective and he's
turned into one of those

tough-guy, streetwise,
kinda seen-it-all kind of cops,

and he has to shepherd his now
younger older brother

who has returned to this
world that is so far different

than what he knew.

What do you think, huh?
Make a good TV show or not?

Younger older brother?

Couldn't it just be that he goes
back in time and then he--

I don't know, he knows things
that other people don't know.

They did that already.

"Quantum Leap,"
Scott Bakula.

He played Samuel Beckett.

It was created by
Don Bellisario,

it was on NBC from March '89
to May '93.

Besides, you can't
travel back in time,

but in the starship headed to
Proxima Centauri

traveling near
the speed of light,

time actually moves much slower
than it does on Earth

during the same time period,
and that is time dilation.

It's not that time seems to pass
more slowly in the starship,

it actually does.

Four years pass in the starship,
20 years pass on Earth.

That is proven science
and it is true.

Mm-hmm.

Come on, guys,
dinner's ready.

Can we just wait until I see
how this call turns out?

No, now.

I made baked ziti
and sausage casserole,

and I don't want it
to get cold.

Just put it on the TiVo
and record it, Dad.

All right.

If it were anything other than
your mom's casserole,

we'd watch
the rest of the game.

Yeah, right.

Random verse time, Kerry.

okay.

"Before the mountains were
brought forth,

"or ever thou hadst
formed the Earth and the world,

"even from everlasting to
everlasting, thou art God.

"Thou turnest man to
destruction;

"and sayest,
'Return, ye children of men

"'for a thousand years in thy
sight are but as yesterday

when it is past
and as a watch in the night."'

Psalm 90, thank you.

Let's pray.

For these gifts we are about to
receive, we give you thanks.

Amen.

Pass the casserole.

Let's tell the doctor
what we want to do.

Go ahead, you tell him.

- man: Put the time on it.
- man: It's already been signed.

man: So as we've seen,

Life first developed
here on Earth

much earlier than
previously thought.

In fact, right after the first
water appeared

3.5 billion years ago,

as attested to by the fossils
of stromatolites

at Warrawoona, Australia.

Now, this little fact creates
something of a problem

for the most simplistic of the
evolutionary interpretations,

which rely on billions of years

for the first single-celled
animal forms to evolve,

and that is purely by chance.

I'm gonna leave you
on that note,

and that completes our review
of the Ediacaran Era,

so we will move right on to
the Cambrian, or Cambrian Era.

This era is often referred to as
the Cambrian explosion,

reflecting a rapid, sudden
appearance of

most major complex animals

around 530 million
years ago

and the accompanying
wide diversification

of other organisms
such as phytoplankton,

calcimicrobes and so forth.

Now, Charles Darwin,
you remember him.

Parenthetically,

he considered this sudden
proliferation of animal life

with little or no antecedent to
be the single greatest threat

to his theory of evolution,

to the point that
he included an entire chapter

in "The origin of the Species"
to this problem.

Now, why am I
not surprised Kerry

would have something
to add to this?

( laughter )

Well, it seems to me that this
sudden expansion of life

gives a clear example
of order emerging from chaos,

and left to nature itself,
this never happens.

order does not
emerge from chaos.

Chaos devolves into
greater chaos.

okay, I'd agree
with that assessment.

And doesn't this lend credence
to the argument

for a watchmaker?

A creator guiding
the process?

Well, I'm a scientist, Kerry,
so I have to remind you

that there is
no scientific evidence

to support the idea of
a creator.

And back to the issue
of order emerging from chaos,

Darwin addresses this, using
the eye as an example

when he says,

"To suppose that the eye, with
all its inimitable contrivances,

"could have been formed by
natural selection seems,

I freely confess, absurd
in the highest possible degree."

That's very good.

Kerry, why don't you just give
science a chance for a while?

You might be surprised by some
of its answers.

Well, I love surprises.

If we may.

Back to the Cambrian era.

oh, and heads up,
in the coming weeks,

we're going to be
reviewing the contributions

of a number of men and women,

going back to the British
geologists like William Buckland

and his detailed writings
concerning--

Blake: Well, that was fun.

"Aldinian," "Tabotian,"
"Atibanian," "Tomin"...

I had no idea what
he was talking about.

Well, then how about we talk
about something

more interesting?

Like some more information for
my story, please?

Why not?

I want to apologize for Chase
and Tyler Saturday night.

They were out of bounds.

You have every right to believe
whatever you want.

No matter how
stupid that might be.

I didn't say that.

That's okay,
I'm used to it.

Most people think that
Christians are dim or naive

or just need a crutch to get
past the fear of death.

I didn't say that, either.

I happen to know that a lot of
what's in the Bible is true.

oh, do you?

Things like the Bronze Age

and the Battle of Jericho
and the Dead Sea Scrolls.

I've even seen possible
scientific explanations

for the ten plagues and
the parting of the Red Sea,

but it's really just
the opening verses.

Genesis?

Yeah.

Yeah, Genesis.

God created the heavens
and the Earth in six days?

I mean, it just isn't true.

I mean, science has
clearly proven,

it took 14, 16 billion years.

I mean, you open up a book
and the first thing you read

is untrue, it's kind of hard

to take the rest of the book
seriously.

So you believe that
the Bible is true post-Adam?

With a lot of parables
and aphorisms tossed in.

But Genesis is fiction.

Look, I think Genesis
is a fable constructed by men

who lived in a pre-science era
trying to explain something

they could have no way
of understanding.

So then if I could prove to you
the truth of Genesis,

you would take
a fresh look at the Bible?

Yeah...

yeah.

Yeah, you prove that science
and Genesis are not in conflict

and I'll reconsider.

Fair enough.

All right,
back to my interview.

Shoot.

What is your favorite color?

Are you serious?

I have to have some
foundation, okay?

Blue, what's yours?

I'm doing the interview.

No, but like I said Saturday,

there needs to be some serious
empathy between

the writer
and the subject and I just--

- I don't feel the connection.
- It's green.

What's your favorite food?

Meatloaf, mashed potatoes
and gravy with green beans.

Mine's huevos rancheros.

I had them one time on a trip
to California.

What's your favorite book?

And comics don't count.

Anything by John Jakes.

And you?

And the Bible doesn't count.

"Jane Eyre" for the old

and any mystery by Sarah Andrews
for the new.

Favorite actor?

Gary Cooper.

For the woman, Vivien Leigh.

Mine would be Denzel Washington
and Janine Turner.

Favorite movie?

- old or new?
- old.

"Sergeant York."

New?

"open Range."

You?

All time,
"Ten North Frederick."

No way.

Yes, starring Vivien Leigh,

Suzy Parker,
Geraldine Fitzgerald and--

- Gary Cooper.
- Very nice.

Maybe we have a little bit more
in common than I thought.

That's a scary notion,
isn't it?

okay.

Moving in a new direction...

what do you want to be
when you grow up?

World chess champion.

That's an interesting...

- goal for a hockey superstar.
- And that's off the record.

I think you're supposed to tell
me that before you say it.

Don't worry,
it's off the record.

Why?

Are you good at chess?

I played a couple of times.

So...

Look, I gotta get to class.

Well, do you think we could
pick this up again later?

Deadline, you know.

Yeah.

I'll get ahold of you
tomorrow.

You wanted to see me, Tanna?

How's the story on
Blake Truman coming?

Little by little,
but it's coming.

Did he give you anything
on his mother yet?

Like what?

Her name is Beverly.

I shouldn't have to do
your work for you.

Sorry.

"45, mother of Madison College's
hockey superstar..."

Hey.

oh, sorry.

Let's get some lunch.

You, tell Billy that
I need the pictures

from that Florida thing, now.

- Mm-hmm.
- Now!

- okay.
- Chop, chop!

Have you ever noticed
that Tanna's clock

runs at a different speed
than everyone else?

You okay, Kerry?

Blake's mom is really sick.

- What's wrong with her?
- She has pancreatic cancer.

She's in the hospital
in a coma.

That's awful.

I'd like to suggest to Blake
that a little faith

might give him some comfort,

but he's convinced that science
has proven the Bible

to be a fantasy.

The only comfort guys like
Blake get is from

smacking someone
around on the ice.

Don't get caught
making this guy

into some type of a cause,
Kerry.

You're probably right.

What's he like?

He's very cynical,

and he's built sort of this wall
around himself.

He's strong
and he tries to act tough,

but underneath all that,
I think he's a decent person.

Kerry, girl, wake up,
he's a jock.

Every jock thinks the sun rises
and sets in their shadow.

Anything exciting with
the computer upgrade in admin?

I don't know why Tanna didn't
give this story

to someone who knows
something about computers.

All this giga this,
RAM that.

I have no idea
what's going on.

You prove to me that science and
Genesis are not in conflict...

You ever noticed
that Tanna's clock

runs at a different speed than
everyone else?

Chop, chop!

Hello?

No!

It's not that time seems to pass
more slowly in a starship,

it actually does.

Four years pass on the starship,
20 years pass on Earth.

That is proven
science and it is true.

"Return, ye children of men

"for a thousand years
in thy sight

"are but as yesterday
when it is past

and as a watch in the night."

Jerry: Psalm 90, Psalm 90,
Psalm 90...

oh my--

( dialing )

Marc: Greetings, sis.

Marc, I need you to figure
something out for me.

Chase: You hit me
one more time

and I'm gonna
slap you again, dude.

I will-- What, do you live
in a barn?

Who's gonna clean this up?
It's not gonna be me.

You can dive in, dude.

What are you studying so hard,
Tyler?

- No, he's shopping.
- Shopping for what?

A girlfriend in
the school directory.

Tyler: You guys can laugh
all you want.

Check this chick out.

Bink!

Lisa Bonner.

Why you laughing, man?

Look, we got a lot
in common, dude.

Like what?

Like she's from Springfield,
Illinois, and I'm from Wheaton,

which is, like,
right there on a map.

Yeah, dude, it also says
that she's majoring

in artificial intelligence
and robotics

and she's a member
of Mensa, so forget about it.

There might be something
to that

artificial-
intelligence thing, man.

Wait, what's Mensa?

It's a society of really
smart people, so.

Yeah, they can handle fractions

without drawing circles
on paper.

No.

You should keep shopping.

What happened to that girl Rita
on Saturday, Kerry's friend?

I thought you hit it off.

I'll see you guys later,
I'm out.

Yeah, I saw her
looking at you, man.

I don't know, man, she was
looking at everybody.

She was the look
machine that night.

Blake, I'm so sorry.

What?

I mean, about... about...

About what?

Nothing, no, I mean--

Betty, what is it?

I thought you knew.

Blake.

I just came from the hospital.

I heard what you guys are
planning on doing.

We wanted to tell you,
we just couldn't find the way.

- You can't do this.
- We can and we must.

It's what your mother wanted.

No, you don't have the right,
she's my mother!

She's our daughter
and we do have the right.

Listen, when she found out that
she had almost

no chance to live,

she wanted to avoid putting you
in the position

of having to
decide what to do.

I want to decide!

It's not what
we want to do, son.

It's what she wanted.

It is!

No, I won't let you do this.

Blake!

Hey, man.

What's wrong?

Is it your mom?

They say they can take her
off life support.

Who?

My grandparents.

Can they do that?

They say they can.

You need a lawyer.

Let me call my brother.

Hey Dalton, it's me,
Shane.

Yeah, I'm fine, it's Blake.

He's got a real problem,
we need to see you.

okay.

All right.

Thanks.

All right, he's out of town,

but he said to be in his office
tomorrow morning, 9:00.

All right?

Thanks, man.

Marc: Kerry!

Kerry, wake up!

- woman: That's Marc, right?
- Who else?

Marc: Kerry, wake up!
I gotta talk to you right now!

What in the world, Marc?

You will never guess what
I figured out.

( phone ringing )

I called Dr. Hoffer.

He said my grandparents
have a patient-advocate form

that my mother signed.

I'll prepare a petition
requesting an injunction.

Get us into probate court as
quickly as possible,

see if we can
get Judge Hardin.

Dalton, I don't have
much money.

- Don't worry about that, man.
- No, I want to pay my way.

We'll work all that out,
Blake.

Right now, we need
to try to block this.

Now I need you to think back.

Think about anything your mother
has ever said

that would indicate that
being taken off life support

would not be what
she would want.

Lin: This idea of the Big Bang
all came about

as a result of Einstein's
theories of relativity.

Marc: one day to the next
the same, here, on the moon,

across the universe, today.

Lin: It's a concept in physics
we call time dilation.

Marc: A mass of pure plasma
expanding at the speed of light.

J.T. : And at lower
normal speeds,

the difference
is imperceptible.

Marc: The universe
does not exist.

Lin: And gravity has the
same effect on time as does...

J.T. : This idea of
two different frames...

For an object that has
zero or low gravity--

man: It cooled and expanded
to a point where...

Lin: The idea of the Big Bang
all came about as a result

of Einstein's theories--

Marc: The temperature was in
the trillions of degrees.

This total image, the cosmos...

Any change in the
wavelength or cycle

or frequency of light...

Lin: The trees and buildings,
everything along the highway,

appear to be moving.

So I found out his cousin
is on Jeff Gordon's pit crew,

and I asked him to get us
a couple of pit passes

for you and me.

of course, I told him
you'll be happy

to drag the car
around the track

by your teeth a few times,
sort of a promotional thing.

What do you think?

Blake!

You haven't heard a word
I said, man.

Sure I have.

okay, so you're going to do
the thing with the teeth then?

- What?
- Man.

We can't do anything 'til
we hear back from Dalton.

Just try to relax.

You're right, man,
you're right, but--

I know.

So I need you
to do something for me.

Anything.

I need you to call Kerry up

and invite her to the karaoke
bar tonight.

Why?

Well, you know how
Tyler and Chase

have been kind of
hard on her, right?

Well, I got something for her
to make amends.

- What?
- It's a surprise, man.

Come on,
do me this favor.

( phone ringing )

Hello?

okay.

Good.

Thanks.

That was Dalton.

He's got you on the docket
to present your petition

at 10:00 tomorrow morning

Thank you, man.

Now, the karaoke thing.

So this sets up the relative
positions of the parent starship

and the survey craft in respect
to the event horizon.

( phone ringing )

Marc: Uh-huh, but...

Hello?

Hi, Blake.

Yeah, yeah,
I know where it is.

okay.

Can I bring Michaele
and Rita?

Cool, well,
we'll meet you there.

okay, bye.

oh no.

I have to go, I have a meeting
with my academic advisor.

- Lin: See ya!
- Adios.

Come on in, Kerry.

I've been reviewing your
transcript.

GPA 3.9, "A"s in all
your science classes.

Double major.

- Very impressive.
- Thank you.

Still planning on grad school?

Yes, Professor Allitt,
I am.

You know you're gonna need three
letters of recommendation?

Yeah.

Well, these grades
will certainly help

get those letters,
mine included.

And as your academic advisor,
mine is especially important.

But I must tell you that I have
some reservations.

Reservations?

Well, I notice in here

that you're not very active
on campus.

The only extracurricular
organization you belong to

is Young Life College,

that's a religious group,
a Christian group.

It's a nondenominational
group, yes.

And that you live
at home with your parents,

your father's a minister
in the local church

and you are quite outspoken

in support of your
Christian beliefs

and your notion of
absolute biblical truth.

Kerry, we live in the
postmodern world.

You have the right to
believe anything you want.

You know, there is no conflict
between science and God.

There is no issue between
is there a God or isn't there,

or be it a Christian god or
a god of any other religion,

it is simply irrelevant.

You know the only reality

is the reality that each of us
perceives.

That's what's great about living
now, you know, in this era?

There are no absolutes,

there are no restraints,
there are no restrictions.

The only truth is subjective,

a truth that each of us believes
and that works for each of us

as individuals.

Now, I have no issue with your
father being a minister, mm-mm.

I think that, really, he serves
a very important function.

By giving the common folk,
you know, something to fear

and some sort of hope of
salvation to cling to,

sort of keeps the masses
under control;

as Voltaire said,

"If God did not exist, it would
be necessary to invent him."

This absolute biblical truth
that you speak of

with such a passion,

I sort of see as an insult to
those of other beliefs

or to those
who don't believe at all.

It's also insulting to the very
intelligent men and women

who have come to
understand that life evolves

through random mutation,
not through some, you know,

divine transcending
intervention.

This absolute biblical truth
of yours, Kerry,

simply does not exist.

All right, well,
let's talk about college.

Now, you really
must understand

that more important than
a college

teaching some
sort of specific craft,

it's more important that it
teaches young men and women

to serve as leaders
in the new world order.

Leaders who understand
postmodern thinking.

Yes, exactly.

Kerry, I mean,
you have a chance

to become part of something
really important here.

I mean, your time
on campus can open doors to--

to the ranks of
the cultural elite

and the leaders of
the country.

All you have to do is become
a little more active

in college affairs, you know,

and mix, accept the views of
others and, you know,

put aside this notion of
absolute biblical truth.

"When I was a child,
I thought like a child,

"I talked like a child,
I reasoned like a child,

"and when I became a man,

I put aside
my childish ways."

I didn't know you were
religious, Professor Allitt.

What do you mean?

Quoting first Corinthians,
13:1 1.

I'm not religious.

You don't have to be religious
to know the Bible.

Then it's Sun Tzu...

"Know your enemy."

oh, my gosh.

You think that--
That we're your enemy?

We are trying to help you.

You believe that,
don't you, Kerry?

We are trying to help you.

of course.

Kerry, you have such a passion,
it's a wonderful thing,

it just needs to be redirected.

You must accept the reality of
the postmodern world,

there is no truth.

Truth is relative.

Reason and rationality
are social biases.

All lifestyles, religions
and worldviews are equally valid

and the only real sin is that of
criticizing someone else's views

or moral choices.

Think about what
I'm saying, Kerry,

and put aside
the childish ways.

Kerry, don't let this adherence

to something your parents
might have believed

stand between you
and a wonderful life.

Between you and a career.

Between you
and an opportunity to serve

as a member of an elite group

and to help shape
a brave new future.

We'll plan to talk about this
a bit more next week, okay?

Dr. Allitt: I have some
reservations...

Put aside this notion of
absolute biblical truth...

... something your parents
might have believed

stand between
you and a career.

men: # Rudolph
the red-nosed reindeer #

# Had a very shiny nose #

# And if you ever saw it
you would even say it glows #

# All of the other reindeer #

# Used to laugh
and call him names #

# They never let poor Rudolph #

# Join in any
reindeer games #

# Then one foggy
Christmas Eve #

# Santa came to say #

# Rudolph with your nose
so bright #

# Won't you guide
my sleigh tonight? #

# Then all the reindeer
loved him #

# And danced around with glee #

oh, come on, man.

Hi, how are you?

oh, you remember my friends
Rita and Michaele.

What's going on?

Shane,
what is the surprise?

Just be patient, be patient.

I'm so anxious.

You're not gonna sing,
are you?

That I am.

# You'll go down in history ##

Great job.

# No one seems to notice #

# The man beside the road #

# He was just a ragged soldier
out there in the cold #

# But he seemed
to have a purpose #

# only known to him #

# As he walked along the streets
that night #

# To the town of Bethlehem #

# In his head he held a memory
of all the wars he'd known #

# In his hand
he clutched a medal #

# For the bravery he's shown #

# But the weight of every battle
he carried in his heart #

# But his eyes were clear #

# Searching for a manger
in the dark #

# Some are born for greatness #

# Some are born to fall #

# Some are bound
to be forgotten #

# Like they never lived at all #

# But we're all born
to know him #

# Stand before his light #

# Like a soldier who found
the king tonight #

# He had marched
for politicians #

# Served under their command #

# He had fought for all the
causes he did not understand #

# But something deep inside him
now led him on his way #

# With a single star to guide
him to where the baby lay #

# He stood before
the son of God #

# To come to pay our debt #

# He smiled up at the soldier
that the world #

# Will soon forget #

# He held up his medal and said,
"This for you I bring" #

# Then he swore allegiance
to the newborn baby king #

# Some are born
for greatness #

# Some are born to fall #

# Some are bound
to be forgotten #

# Like they never lived
at all #

# But we're all
born to know him #

# And stand before his light #

# Like a soldier who found

# oh yeah #

# Like a soldier who found
the king #

# Tonight ##

( cheers and applause )

oh man, that was good, dude.

Aw, thanks, man.

It means a lot,
I appreciate it, bro.

Thanks, man.

Shane,
that was so beautiful.

Thank you, thank you.

Did you know he could
sing like that?

You know,
I've known him ten years

and I've never even
heard him sing.

So I had a few more questions

I'd like to ask you
for my story.

Do you think
I could see you tomorrow?

I've got something in the
morning, some personal stuff.

Is it with your mom?

Why didn't you tell me?

Because it's a personal matter
and it's not something

I want in your story.

I wouldn't
put it in my story

if you didn't want it there,
Blake.

There's more.

What?

My grandparents are trying to
take her off life support.

I'm going to the court
in the morning

to try to get
an injunction to stop them.

I'll come with you.

Part of your story?

No, as your friend.

Dalton: We're meeting
Judge Hardin's court clerk

in the conference room "A."

Relax, don't say anything,
just follow my lead.

( phone ringing )

Dalton: We're here to see
the clerk.

You two stay right there.

- Mr. Thomas?
- Yes.

Please, have a seat.

Judge Hardin will be joining you
in just a few moments.

man: Thank you, thank you.

Keep seated, keep seated.

All right, we have a petition
here brought by Mr. Blake Truman

to adjoin his grandparents

from removing life support
from his mother,

Beverly Truman.

Mr. Thomas,
you may make your argument.

Your Honor, I represent
Blake Truman,

who opposes both the
rights of his grandparents

to order this life-ending action
as an action not permitted

under their
patient-advocate agreement.

He also contends this is
not a decision

with which
his mother would concur.

Are you represented
by counsel?

No, Your Honor, I'm not.

Are you comfortable proceeding
pro se,

representing yourself
without an attorney?

For what it's worth,
Your Honor,

I was the head of
my company for 35 years.

Well, let's see what
you have to say.

We have here
the patient-advocate form

signed by our daughter
giving us the right to--

Giving us the--

Giving us the right to take her
off life support, Your Honor.

She came to us after she was
first diagnosed

and she knew that there was very
little chance of her recovery,

and she didn't want to be
a burden to her--

To her parents
and to her son.

Mr. Truman, do you have
anything to add?

Your Honor-- Your Honor.

My mother would not
have wanted this.

She was always a fighter and
would never give up like this.

The idea of her being a burden,
it's just--

It's just not true.

When did you plan
to remove life support?

After Christmas,
on the 28th.

Well, I'll look over this

and let you know my decision
tomorrow.

That's all for now.
