Scene 3 MAGELLAN: Mr. Polo, position report! POLO:
ROBOT:
Captain, getting close, but we will need to stay in hyperactivity for several more minutes.
Captain, may I ask a question? Why would you delay going home to see a child born 2,000 years ago?
MAGELLAN: Oh Robot, it's not just a child, it's the Son of God. ROBOT:
God. The creator of the world.
MAGELLAN: That's right, Robot. The Bible tells us that God created people in His own image, and He created us to know Him, and have a relationship with Him. But we rejected Him, and decided we wanted to go our own way.
ROBOT: The created rejected the creator? Unacceptable!
MAGELLAN: That's right. We're like lost people, walking in darkness. That's why Jesus came. Christmas is when the Son of God became a man like us, to save us from our hopelessness, and bring us back to God!
SPARKY:
All the amazing lights in space that we've been seeing are God's "handiwork," the Bible says. But Jesus is the Light of the World. Before He was born, the prophets said "to those who walk in darkness, a great light has dawned." That was talking about Jesus, the Light of the World.
ROBOT: Why is this information not in my databanks?
MAGELLAN: I'm afraid it might be some bad programming, Robot. We have some great computers, but the most important information is found right here. (holds up a Bible) This is the Word of God.
(music begins to "All in the Book") INFO:
That's right. If you want to know what God says, it's all right here … it's all in the book!
SONG: "ALL IN THE BOOK"
