How to Date an Android

Chapter 9 Part A, revised and improved!

"So you've really done your homework on this?" I joked, but I was actually pretty interested in why there were so many.

"I wouldn't say that. Church is actually very healthy for people, and religious sponsored violence isn't actually as big as people think. Only a few small groups are involved in that. The long terror war with Middle East sponsored groups found that the ones actually doing the violence weren't actually religious but using it as a tag making life harder for the others, and use it as an authority bat. You can measure the effects of going to church in the stability, education, and morality of healthy humans very easily showing a lot of positive effects that aren't explainable in any other way. So I do support religion as a whole mostly. That by itself gives evidence that there probably is a God somewhere...probably... Though I hope he or she likes androids too," she said. She said it in a serious way so it made it seem kind of funny.

"And you are also an android? And you are telling me there's a God even so?" I was a bit surprised that the conversation had turned this way.

"Of course there is! The perfect balance of this world and how all the animals interact with each other and the plants in a perfect cycle of everything working together is proof there's a God. It suggests so. The positive effects you see in harmonious lives of religious people also suggest so. And if the things in this world weren't made by God there would be more randomness here and there. In that scneario there should be like some half formed life forms or stray genetic pools that are like half dead or mutated still but there isn't. Like species with changes in progress. Everything is in perfect order. Think about that? How come you don't see any crosses between fish and land mammals that are like puddles of goo that are left overs? Like evolutionary parts HALFWAY through that are unfinished? If it was like they say then you'd see that but you don't. People don't see any 'leftover parts' types of organisms in this world. It's too orderly for there to not be some kind of higher power. There's no way that could happen through evolution without the cycle being as perfectly in cohesion as it is. There's also several math formulas that can be used to prove that the planets ability to go around the sun so perfectly also proves there's a God somewhere," she said.

"Eh? But you an android saying it sounds..."

"Yep. Pretty amazing," she said. "But I'm not here to talk about that. I just want to see if I can help you. Of course by meeting you here in your home, I'm hoping you won't disclose my name or picture or android status in any way shape or form, since society isn't kind to us right now."

She paused. "Before we continue further can you agree to that? And give me your word as a man?"

"Got it. I can agree to that. I think we understand each other. How do I know you aren't just saying stuff to get me to open up my credit chip?" I said.

Barbara, who was very stylish was so smooth in her hand movements that I couldn't believe it. "It's fine. That's also why I gave you the references. Check things out and see what you can do. I like that you are asking questions and want to help you too. For starters, I would say you can start on the links that I sent to your datapad's video feed message system. It's got a compatibility insert for when you link in to net so you won't have to manual type out the link addresses. Very easy to find and use," she said smoothly and with finesse.

"How did you know I was an android? I'm one of the later models and most people wouldn't be able to tell without some hints," she asked me.

"Well you represent Mellifera. Plus you look too stunning to be human without either being an android or having some kind of plastic surgery," I shrugged. "So I sort of guessed, but you do look human in every way except you are just too perfect looking. But you don't stick out as being a robot android."
