This reminds me of a joke I saw with a figure with a long flowing white beard wearing a long flowing white robe overlooking the globe of the earth. Behind him stood an even bigger figure with a longer beard and more magnificant robes saying, “And for this you expect a PhD?”
Here is the beginning of the Iriquois creation myth:Long before the world was created there was an island, floating in the sky, upon which the Sky People lived. They lived quietly and happily. No one ever died or was born or experienced sadness. However one day one of the Sky Women realized she was going to give birth to twins. She told her husband, who flew into a rage. In the center of the island there was a tree which gave light to the entire island since the sun hadn’t been created yet. He tore up this tree, creating a huge hole in the middle of the island. Curiously, the woman peered into the hole. Far below she could see the waters that covered the earth. At that moment her husband pushed her. She fell through the hole, tumbling towards the waters below.You can read the rest here.I maintain that there is precisely as much evidence supporting this version, as there is for the one alluded to in the cartoon; that is, precisely zero.

I don’t hear that much anymore. Repairmen in my area can usually get parts shipped quickly.

What’s the advantage of goin to heaven if you still have to wash clothes?

But when he’s done fixing it, you clothes will be rendered white as snow.

Just dip your robe every now and then, and you’re golden.

Well, it’s clear that US laws don’t apply in Heaven, otherwise he could have Created and installed his own parts without voiding the warranty.
