SCULLY: (voiceover) "It began with an act of supreme
violence-- a big bang expanding ever outward, cosmos born of matter and gas,
matter and gas ten billion years ago. Whose idea was this? Who had the audacity
for such invention?And the reason? Were we part of that plan ten
billion years ago? Are we born only to die? To be fruitful and multiply and
replenish the earth before giving way to our generations? If there is a
beginning, must there be an end? We burn like fires in our time only to be
extinguished. To surrender to the elements' eternal reclaim. Matter and gas...
will this all end one day? Life no longer passing to life, the Earth left barren
like the stars above, like the cosmos. Will the hand that lit the flame let it
burn down? Let it burn out? Could we, too, become extinct? Or if this fire of
life living inside us is meant to go on, who decides? Who tends the flames? Can
he reignite the spark even as it grows cold and weak?"

MULDER (Voice over): "Before the exploration of space, of the moon and the planets, man hailed that the heavens were the
home and province of powerful gods who controlled not just the vast firmament, but the earthly fate of man himself and that the pantheon of powerful, warring deities, was the cause and reason for the human condition, for the past and the future, and for which great monuments would be created on earth as in heaven. But in time man replaced these gods with new gods and new religions that provided no more certain or greater answers than those worshipped by his Greek or Roman or Egyptian ancestors. And while we've chosen now our monolithic and benevolent gods and found our certainties in science, believers all, we wait for a sign, a revelation. Our eyes turn skyward ready to accept the truly incredible to find our destiny written in the stars. But how do we best look to see? With new eyes or old?"
