Genesis, Chapter 1

In the beginning was the void
And the void was covered with ice
They said, "Let us reposition its orbit
To make its temperature precise."
And the waters began to flow
They shaped exactly as it should
And thus Galactic Terraforming
Saw that it was good

So the planet became blue
And the air became breathable
Countless life forms were shipped in
As their creation became habitable
And many warring races
Engineered the most beautiful plan
They created a covenant of peace
And thus they called it man

And man received a trait
From each participating species
Making him the most complex enigma
So that he could learn how to see
And they all made this pact
Their first time to agree
That when we learn to love each other
There will be universal peace
