Hello Ra, he said in a kindly voice. It's been a long time. A feeble voice from behind the chair said,Can't play. Go away. would you like a treat? Apophis asked. we used to play so nicely together. Every night, trying to kill each other. Don't you remember?Ra poked his head above the throne. Treat?How about a stuffed date? Apophis pulled one out of the air. You used to love stuffed dates, didn't you? All you have to do is come out and let me devour- I mean entertain you. Want a cookie, Ra said.What kind?Weasel cookie.I'm here to tell you, that comment about weasel cookies probably saved the known universe.

In a playful exchange, Apophis greets Ra, highlighting their long history of rivalry marked by attempts to defeat each other. Despite Ra's reluctance to engage, Apophis offers a treat, recalling their past interactions fondly. He lures Ra with memories of stuffed dates, which Ra once enjoyed, reinforcing their connection even amid conflict.

Ra responds awkwardly with an offer of a cookie, specifically a "weasel cookie," which unexpectedly becomes a pivotal moment. This light-hearted banter not only illustrates their dynamic but also suggests that a simple humorous comment can have significant repercussions, possibly saving the universe from chaos.

Look, if you say that science will eventually prove there is no God, on that I must differ. No matter how small they take it back, to a tadpole, to an atom, there is always something they can't explain, something that created it all at the end of the search. And no matter how far they try to go the other way – to extend life, play around with the genes, clone this, clone that, live to one hundred and fifty – at some point, life is over. And then what happens? When the life comes to an end? I shrugged. You see? He leaned back. He smiled. When you come to the end, that's where God begins.

You say you should have died instead of me. But during my time on earth, people died instead of me, too. It happens every day. When lightning strikes a minute after you are gone, or an airplane crashes that you might have been on. When your colleague falls ill and you do not. We think such things are random. But there is a balance to it all. One withers, another grows. Birth and death are part of a whole.
