“The universe is infinite. Can you have something greater than infinity?” Jak was being ironic. Smith, to his surprise took him seriously.
“Yes.”
“God?”
“Yes.”
“I would like to see this God,” said Jak dryly. Smith made a gesture with his hands.
“You are confusing material things with things of the spirit. No one, no human, is capable of grasping the concept of something so great. The best we can do is to try and understand a part. It is this knowledge of inadequacy which makes us humble.”
Jak did not like to feel humble. He was Captain, master of the ship and a leader among the Folk, and there was no cause to feel humble in that. Proud, yes, but not humble. Why, if he felt humble it would almost be the same as feeling ashamed!
And this Brotherhood of Man. Jak pondered it as he strode along. Smith meant, he supposed, that everyone was equal and technically brothers. But any fool could see that it just wasn’t so. Planets had their rulers and their serfs were they equal? Were they brothers? Folk were different, of course. Folk, despite Captains and First Officers, were truly brothers under the skin. But Smith was saying that Star-Folk and Planet-People were the same.
He was, Jak thought, a little insane. He hoped that he wouldn’t let his mania get out of hand.
