Omni. Potent. All powerful. Hm. So you could take over the world if ya’ wanted to.
God
I already did that.
Thyme
You did?
God
Thyme, I made the whole world.

God
An’ the moon an’ the stars.

That take you a long time?
God
No such thing as time, Thyme.

The idea just came to me, so I made it.
Thyme
Every one a’ them atoms an’ every one a’ them stars?
God
Every one.
Thyme
That’s hard ta’ believe.
God
Are you doubting my word, Thyme?
Thyme
Well, no God. I’m jus’ havin’ a hard time wrapping ma’ brain ‘round that one. Seems like that jus’ had ta’ take some time, but then again time don’t exist, so that’s where I run into the wall.
God
Well, think of it like this: I thought it up, so it was … so it is.
Thyme
Ya’ mean all it took was a little thought?
God
Now ya’ got it.
Thyme
So, thought is where all that omnipotent stuff comes from? Thought is the power?
God
Yup.
Thyme
I’m gonna think on that.
God
Good idea, Thyme. You do that.
Thyme
Yeah, I’m gonna think on that.
God
