“Shepherd Book: What are we up to, sweetheart? 
River: Fixing your Bible. 
Book: I, um... What? 
River: Bible's broken. Contradictions, false logistics - doesn't make sense. 
Shepherd Book: No, no. You-you-you can't... 
River: So we'll integrate non-progressional evolution theory with God's creation of Eden. Eleven inherent metaphoric parallels already there. Eleven. Important number. Prime number. One goes into the house of eleven eleven times, but always comes out one. Noah's ark is a problem.

River: We'll have to call it early quantum state phenomenon. Only way to fit 5000 species of mammal on the same boat. 
Shepherd Book: River, you don't fix the Bible. 
River: It's broken. It doesn't make sense. 
Book: It's not about making sense. It's about believing in something, and letting that belief be real enough to change your life. It's about faith. You don't fix faith, River. It fixes you.”
