Oh, and...

I've been thinking that if I could ask Gneil and/or PTerry one Good Omens-related question, it would actually have nothing to do with the theology of the changed world or a second apocalypse or the mysteries of the Horsepersons or anything related to whether or not Aziraphale and Crowley are So Doing It (tm). Those are all things for fandom to play with, which it does quite nicely.

It would be a fairly straightforward question.

Who was Adam's mother?



If there's any fic or meta on this subject anywhere, please point me!

I don't know -- creating a living being from scratch (no pun intended) still really seems like it still ought to be something only God can do, in the framework of the mythology and all. But other cosmologies are full of deities and demigods impregnating themselves and the like. I just can't let go of the idea that the incarnation of the Antichrist should mirror the incarnation of Christ (while parodying or blaspheming it in some way).
