1. In the beginning was Pabulum Earth and Mother Earth. 2. Mother Earth was the pre-mother of all mothers, while Pabulum Earth was the pre-daddy of all daddies. 3. It was so and so, there are two stories and both are equivalent. 4. The mother of all mothers was like a mycelium in the woods. It conjoined everything at the roots, nourished it and kept in one piece. 5. Pabulum, most likely, flew down from the universe. On a piece of meteorite, like bacteria, which started to enter into a reaction with gas, until life has been replicated into life. 6. It is likely that Pabulum was also one such speck. 7. And so passed the first month. 8. And Pabulum said: “I need pabulum.” 9. And it was so. 10. The first fish came to him. He called it the Chinese fish, because its moustache was reminiscent of a Chinese. 11. And Pabulum saw it was tasty. 12. And there appeared plenty of other fish, a mouse which could be mistaken for a bird, and calamari. 13. The fish treated the calamari as a snack, and that was called calmabalism. 14. And so passed the second month. 15. And the animals were living, chatting, going to parties and dancing la macarena. 16. Only, they had no time for washing, so the bacteria emerged. 17. It was so. 18. Among the bacteria, there were the fowlworm, the rotting mould, the plasticosis, and all were truly superb. 19. And so the bacteria ran rampant though the world, until they, ultimately, took over the position of animals. 20. Then, a completely new world began to emerge. 21. It was so, although it is likely that it was completely not-so. It all happened in a time called lateness. Lateness was pillions years ago, even before the past.

Cupid [form Latin cupīdō, ‘desire’] is a bacterium in the group of bacteria of love, a highly specialised group of bacteria which likes it that there is loving; together with itchiteria, it makes up the kingdom Amorum/Prokaryota (according to other systematicians, it is classified as Diseasium/Monera); it reproduces by falling in love with the itchiteria bacterium [see: itchiteria is a bacterium which likes it when one’s bottom itches], very rapidly (every 1-2 seconds) under favourable conditions; this results in the emergence of the common love bacterium [see: common love] and an epidemic of love encompassing the whole wide world. Everybody loves and hugs everybody and so this epidemic infects. It demonstrates a structural similarity (family Spirochaetaceae) with a group of skewed bacteria, headed by the sting predacticus, responsible for eye pain [see: sting predacticus]. The cupid occurs commonly in the human environment, in water, soil and food, is airborne; in nature, it plays a fundamental role: an absence of the cupid in the environment would have made life on Earth impossible. It lives in symbiosis (bacterioris) with the daboteria and madness (bacteria in the family Rhizobiaceae: Rhizobium, Azorhizobium, Sinorhizobium, Plasticosis) and with numerous species of the floraltiddlywinks bacteria (from the genera: Clebsiella, Fowlworm, Rotting Mould). The cupid was first observed by Goździk Stefan, who discovered it during a world creation in 2018.

We have no idea what the world is and where it was created. Astronomers from a planetarium claim that life flew down from the universe, but they aren’t really sure. When you come to think of it, there are multiple worlds. Creation of a World is a scientific work on the subject of the manner in which animals would have told the creation story. About how it would have been told by plants. And how – by the bacteria. What would happen if one day the planets called us and said: “You know what, the facts weren’t really that the ape transformed into the human.” What would they begin with? “Scientific” means significant. It symbolizes the resources related to power, language and the control over knowledge production. Images here presented are intuitive, they name the world anew. They are made according to the principle: “if you feel so, it means it is so.” Everybody is right. The little book contains World Creation Stories by children and adults, who gave voice to animals, plants and planets they imagined. They emerged during a joint work during workshops run by Monika Drożyńska in various cities in Poland.
