Molecular evolution

“Sayang, if i mati, you datang kuburan i tau nanti.” A text came in.

“Datang la baby. I’ll even ask our kids to baca yasin lagi.” I replied.

“Haha, i ada kids ke? I thought i’m infertile.”

Of course you are. But we’ll make cute babies in vitro. And they will be born with no religion but to pick their own, and they will have to respect their parents : a muslim mother who believes in the creation of Adam and Eve, and an agnostic father who believes in ridiculous things such as DNA and molecular evolution.

And these parents will have to respect the choices that the children have made, and they will be supportive and provide them with the best knowledge they need. The children will read Al-Quran, they will read the Bible, they will read scientific journals and we’ll read them fairy tales, so they will challenge our perspectives about life and establish their own. And we’ll kiss them goodnight and we’ll kiss them goodmorning and we’ll lunch on the green grass and we’ll tell them not to play too far.

And if you go before i do, all of us will pray in the same way, in the same language you had had when you were alive.
