【選詞片段】
Rolle: Instead of a dead moon, a living, a breathing planet. Capable of sustaining whatever life forms we deposit on it. Fascinating. The moon simulated here represents a fraction of Gensis’potential, should the federation wish to found the experiment to its conclusion. When we consider the cosmic problems of population and food supply. The usefulness of this process becomes clear. This concludes our proposal. Thank you for your attention.
Spock: It literally is Genesis.
Kirk: The power of creation.
Spock: Have they proceeded?
Kirk: The tape was made a year ago. I can only assume they’ve reached stage two by now.
McCoy: But, Dear lord, do you think we’re intelligent enough to… suppose…what if this thing were used where life already exists?
Spock: It would destroy such life…in favor of its new matrix.
McCoy: Its new matrix? Do you have any idea what you’re saying?
Spock: I was not attempting to evaluate its moral implications. In cosmic history, It has always been easier to destroy than to create.
McCoy: Not any more! Now we can do both at the same time. According to myth, Earth was created in six days. Now watch out! Here comes Genesis! We’ll do it for you in six minutes!
Spock: Really, y, you must learn to govern your passions. They’ll be your undoing. Logic suggests.
McCoy: Logic? My god, The man”s talking about logic! We’re talking about universal Armagedden! You green-blooded, inhuman.
Woman: Bridge to Adminal Kirk. Sensors indicate a vessel in our area, closing fast.
Kirk: What do you make of her?
Woaman: It’s one of ours. It’s Reliant.

麥醫生和洗樸在爭執創世計劃對人類的影響時說到，如果創世真的可以實現，新母體就會把原來的生命摧毀，原有的生命就會不存在，麥醫生怒斥到洗樸沒有人性，說出這些話很無情，洗樸不是人類不會評估這件事的道德價值，只會客觀看待這件事，不帶任何感情。支持新母體，在這是支持，有利於的意思。
