The Genesis Code Page #6

---

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-
