 However, the Miracle Child, born of the Deep Space being and the Captain, was there - able and willing to greatly facilitate spaceborne Humanity in making contact with newly discovered alien species and cultures.The book's plot includes a re-enactment of some of the main themes of Christian theology - the Annunciation, Mary becoming miraculously pregnant and her giving birth to the miraculous Jesus Christ.The similarity is made explicit at the end of the book, with the book's Miracle Child stating "I and My Father are One" - repeating words uttered by Jesus.
