Inside the mother's womb. Some noises of people talking and shouting outside. The child, in the final period of his development, will soon be born. A voice starts to talk to him.


GOD: I am thy God, the only god. I am the All-Knowing, All-Mighty, All-Wise. I have created you from nothing. I have caused you to live, and I shall cause you to die. To Me do all things return.

THE CHILD: So it's You who caused me to live... Why do I exist? Why did You create me?

GOD: So that I can judge your soul. Firstly, thou must believe in me, and no-one else. Secondly, thou shall encounter many difficulties in your life, these are but tests. If you deal with them in the manner I want you to, then thou shall be worthy of the Afterlife in Heaven. It is a place where there is no suffering, and wherein you can dwell for all eternity.

THE CHILD: What happens if I fail to act like You wish me to? What if I don't believe in You at all?

GOD: Then your abode shall be the Hellfire, where I cause all the sinners to meet their adequate punishments, for all eternity.

THE CHILD: Why do I have to be responsible for something that I didn't ask for?

GOD: I have created you, and everything from nothing, and to Me shall all things return. I am the Determiner of all.

THE CHILD: But You don't sound like a god to me, I can defy Your will! If You'd really be All-mighty, You could determine my actions too.

GOD: Such thoughts will bring you nothing but an eternity of suffering in the Blazing Hellfire! I've given every human being free will, to decide between the Straight path, and the Evil path. From me have not one of my servants recieved pain, only from those who deny the Path of Righteousness. I have created everything from nothing, and to Me shall all things return. Pray only towards Me.

THE CHILD: I see now... But wait! How could You determine, for example, the time when I will die, if someone else with free will can kill me?! You can't even save me, without violating that person's free will!

GOD: I am your God, the only god, the All-Knowing. I have created everything from nothing, and to Me shall all things return. Do as I want you to, and thou shall recieve the gift of pain-free life in Heaven.

THE CHILD: This whole thing makes no sense. First You create something with free will, just to see if it follows Your path or not, but even if it doesn't, You'll punish it for all eternity anyway? That's just plain cruelty!

GOD: So you choose to defy Me? Then your abode shall be Hell, where thou shall suffer for all eternity.

Suddenly, the womb gets into a wild convulsion, the child is pushed out, into the outside world. The people in white around him cut his umbilical cord.

The child refuses to breathe. He doesn't want to release the liquid from his lungs. The people are in panic, the mother and father cry painfully. Finally, the doctor spanks him a few times, until he releases the liquid from his lungs and nose.

The child begins to cry, as hard as every creature does, when born. (Therein is a Sign for those who believe.)
... and a yet unborn child.
