Things to Remember
S onny Babe is the only son of a truck driver and the youngest of three children. The reason for this story is that Sonny Babe and his class was asked by their public school instructor what they knew or understood about the creation of the universe, and its organisms.
Sonny Babe said to his instructor that the only thing that he knew about creation was what he had been taught in his Sunday school class. In Sunday school, he was taught that God created the heavens and the earth in six days, and on the Seventh day, he rested.
His instructor said to Sonny Babe and the class that God’s creation was only one version about creation.
There are others,
said his teacher, but we will not have the discussion in class until later.
The instructor asked each student to ask their family members if they knew about more than one version or what they knew and understood about the creation of the universe and its living beings.
The instructor told each student that she wanted them to write the information as clearly as they could in their own hand writing.
Upon arriving home and having his meal, Sonny Babe confronted his mother and two sisters about what they knew or had been told about the creation of the universe and its people.
Each member of his family gave their version, and one of his sisters told Sonny Babe that she had been told that people came from monkeys, and as she looked at him with his uncombed hair and beady eyes, she said they just might be right.
That’s a lie, said Sonny Babe. isn’t it mother?
Because she knows that we did not come from monkeys.
His mother told him that it was not proper for him to call his sister a liar, because she was only stating what she had learned in school. Of course it was not nice of her to insinuate that you look like a monkey, but with that uncombed hair and dirty face, you do look a bit monkish.
Sonny Babe said to his mother that he was sorry about calling his sister a liar, but she didn’t have a right to call him a monkey! He then excused himself and ran upstairs to his room.
Sonny Babe’s father arrived home at his usual time, nearing Sonny Babe’s bedtime.
Sonny Babe’s mother greeted him with the usual hello, and asked how his day was.
Sonny Babe’s father returned her greeting with a hello and a big hug, and told her that his day had been an average one.
Sonny babe’s mother said that it was not an average day around there, especially since Sonny Babe’s episode about creation.
Creation!
What about creation?"
Sonny Babe’s mother replied that his school instructor had told him and the class, to ask their family members their knowledge about creation of the universe and its organisms. His sister told him that she had been told that people came from monkeys, and after looking at him with his uncombed hair and beady eyes there’s a good possibility.
I also told him, said Sonny Babe’s mother, that from the look of his uncombed hair and the dirt on his face, he did look a little monkish.
He became really upset, and ran upstairs to his room."
Sonny Babe’s father said, So that’s why I have not heard anything from him.
After I finish my meal, I will go upstairs and have a little pep talk with my little man and see if I can cheer him up."
As soon as Sonny Babe’s father finished his meal, he went upstairs to Sonny Babe’s room and knocked on the door.
Is that you, Dad?" Sonny Babe asked weakly.
Yes, replied his father.
Come in, said Sonny Babe.
His father could see at a glance after entering his room that he was upset. He immediately gave him a big hug, and placed him upon his knee and said, your mother told me about what happen in your conversation with your sister concerning the creation of the Universe and its organisms and on my way upstairs, she told me to tell you that she was sorry about that. Okay!
Now tell me what this is all about?
Nothing but, our instructor asked me and the class to ask our family members to tell us what they knew about the creation of the Universe and its organisms.
I understand, said his father.
That’s quite a subject, but your father have an opinion that differs from all other known versions about creations the Universe and its organisms, and also about the three major divisions of the races; and I will also give you some information about the black race from the past to the present okay!
He then reiterated the fact that he would type out a version about Creation that would not indicate anything about people coming from monkeys. Sonny Babe’s father lifted him from his knee, gave him a big hug and a head rub; and asked how he felt now, and returned downstairs.
How did it go?
Was he back to his usual self, asked Sonny Babe’s mother?
Sonny Babe’s father assured her that he was again himself, and happy.
What did you tell him about creation?
Sonny Babe’s father said that he told him that he would write out a version of Creation that would differ from all the rest.
Good luck, and good night, said Sonny Babe’s mother.
because she had to rise early to get them ready for school
Good night, said Sonny Babe’s father, after giving her a big hug; and said that he would see her in a few.
He soon began typing while watching the late news on television.
His story about creation went something like this: The exact knowledge of Creation will in all probability be questionable, because at creation, there was not any recording of the actual events as they may have occurred. Also there was not any human Beings around to make the recordings, therefore; it is impossible for anyone to know about how the Universe may have been created. Yes there is the Bible’s story about God creating the Heavens and Earth in six days and on the seventh day he rested.
Your father will not say that the possibility of God creating the world in six days and on the seventh day he rested. God is a Spirit, and it would seem impossible for a spirit of God’s power to become tired, especially when all was needed to speak the command for it to happen.
The father’s version of creation is really an interpretation of a myth that was created by the writer Charlie Dean as a child growing up in the Mississippi Delta and attending grade school and seeing drawing of pictures displayed in school about members of the ape family progressing from members of the ape family into the Cro-Magnon man. These views was nothing but drawings and over time many begin believing that these drawings were
