Quote #10
The sixth day! The day of grace. (3.229)
In the Bible, the sixth day is when God created humans. Alquist is comparing that to the moment when Helena and Primus discover love. The creation of humanity—and especially of Adam and Eve—is directly linked to Primus and Helena, who will go on to populate the world… somehow, even though robots can't actually reproduce. But that's why you need God for the miracle. Or else you need Alquist to develop the formula for life—one or the other.
