Inside the mind of H. B. Coffin…

Before time, there was nothing. Complete and utter darkness.
It was this darkness in which light was born.
That light was God.
Alone, in a universe of nothing, it began to wonder, and as thoughts came to mind, stars began to take root.
These were the first children, children of light, born to represent the power of hope.
It was then, at the beginning of time, that it must come to be understood.
Within the nest of darkness, hope is born.

As the children materialized, their minds pursued enigmatic thoughts of existence and reality.
“Where did we come from? Why are we here?”
God was not a man of doubt, if a man is what he was.
He knew since the beginning why he was here, and what he was destined to do.
“It was hope that brought us here,” he explained to his children.
This was comprehensible for the overall majority, though some felt puzzled by the mere thought of his words.
Those bewildered soon came to grasp God’s thoughts.
It was God’s first born star who relentlessly questioned their existence, along with the existence of God himself.
It was God’s first born star who questioned the darkness.
God’s answer was simple, but unfortunately, not complex enough for the likes of the first born.
He eventually came to refer to his first born as the Dark Star.
This name was given to the child on account of its persistent attempt to fade into the darkness by mitigating heat levels, in hopes of one day being swallowed by the darkness.
To the Dark Star, the darkness was the answer, and their true destiny.
Yet, despite the Dark Star’s attitude towards God, he still loved the child.
He loved all of his children.

As the mind of God began to expand, the universe began to expand along with it, and in the process, he created the heavens.
Galaxies upon galaxies were created in this vast universe of what was once what could have been considered nothing more than a small dark room.
Upon completion of the universe, God found one galaxy in particular acutely beauteous.
That was our Milky Way Galaxy.
It was here where he would create earth, and all life ever to inhabit the terra.
Prior to the creation process, he granted his first children the honorary role of his celestial guardians.
All of his children were more than proud to be awarded such a rank in heaven.
All but one: the Dark Star.
The Dark Star took advantage of his new rank and attempted to betray his father.
A fight against God, the outcome would be evident, but it was his newly assigned angels who stopped the Dark Star.
The commitment of treason led God to dispel the Dark Star to the opposite end of the universe.
Here, the Dark Star would be bound to reside on a sun long expired; a netherworld known to the average human as hell.
Unfortunately, the Dark Star was very intelligent, like all of God’s angels.
God knew this would not be the last he saw of the Dark Star.
Some predict God planned on it.

God commenced creation of Earth, the great luminary of tomorrow, and the great emblematic luminary of hope.
First, he created Earth’s exoskeleton, followed by the two great luminaries.
The sun, the great luminary of tomorrow, would grant people the light of day.
The moon, the great emblematic luminary of hope, along with the stars, would represent God and his first born children, symbolizing hope found within darkness.
Completion of the great luminaries led to the creation of water on Earth.
God made water the element of birth.
With water he gave birth to vegetation round world.
Along with plant life, he established his first prototype, single celled amoeba.
This ideal archetype eventually led to the evolution of God’s final creations.
After various prototypes, australopithecines, Homo habilis, and Homo erectus, God created man.

God created man from the dust of the earth.
Like all of his greatest works, man started as an idea.
He considered the idea of Adam Kadmon his magnum opus.
This idea led him to the creation of Adam, the first man.
God placed Adam within the Garden of Eden, a spiritual enclosure which was a gift to Adam.
This garden was filled with trees capable of producing delicious fruit.
But Adam was not to eat fruit from one particular tree, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
This was understood, yet Adam was alone, and God decided this was not right.
From the dust of the earth, he pursued in creating another, the feminine carbon copy of Adam, Lilith.
God’s original intentions for Lilith were not only to be Adam’s mate, but to submit to Adam’s will.
Created in the same manner as Adam, Lilith declared herself equal to man.
Lilith’s arguments towards Adam led to her expulsion.
Cursed, Lilith was never to return to the Garden of Eden, and was never to be seen again.
This led God to the creation of Eve.
Eve was created from the dust of the earth, and was given Adam’s rib.
In this way, Eve would know she was not equal to Adam, but a part of him.
Eve possessed more feminine traits than those of Lilith, and was a perfect representation of God’s true depiction of woman.
Though not created equally, Adam and Eve were equally beautiful in God’s eyes.
As told by the Bible, Eve would eventually be persuaded into eating fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and would eventually persuade Adam to do the same.
One way or another, the Dark Star was able to find his way to Earth.
Upon arrival, he altered himself into the body of a Serpent.
It was the serpent who persuaded Eve into eating the forbidden fruit.
God became aware of the Dark Star’s presence, but by then it was too late.
The Dark Star had defiled God’s flawless creations.

In hell, the Dark Star had contemplated rebellion against God, prior to his arrival on Earth.
It was there he decided the only way to fulfill his destiny was to befoul God’s creations.
The whereabouts of the Dark Star on Earth were transpired.
God banished the Dark Star back to hell, with intentions of dealing with him later.
As God knew before, this would not be the last he saw of the Dark Star.
Some predict God planned on it.

Throughout the Dark Star’s short time on Earth, he became aware of the entity Lilith, and she of his.
As he was cast out into hell, he held out his hand to hers.
Lilith accepted his offer and joined the Dark Star in the nether-world.
It was there where they would plot world domination together, and plan for their first born son to take over.
Lilith, knowledgeable of her own creational process, provided the Dark Star with God’s blueprints for creating man.
But the Dark Star lacked God’s ability to provide any sort of organism with a soul essence.
From the dust of the nether-world, the Dark Star created animations daemon in stature.
Grey, emotionless beings who lack the ability of reproduction.
Without the ability to reproduce, in order to construct an army large enough to go against God’s high angels, the Dark Star would have to assemble his regiment one conscript at a time.
While God planned for humans to advance technologically on their own, the Dark Star taught his children everything he knew, giving them great intelligence.
The Dark Star would make it clear to these creatures, darkness was their destiny.
Their sole purpose: to desecrate mankind, deplete the soul essence of humanity, and drive God to the destruction of the universe, sending everything in existence back into the darkness from which it came.
