"In the Beginning..." is a gently irreverent comedy that presumes the question: What if God invented man unintentionally? What if he didn't really mean to set the creation of the universe into motion? 

 

Archangels Michael, Gabriel and Lucifer, tasked by their boss to get things under control on earth, observe the early progression of civilization and attempt to work together to slow the chaos created by the very existence of humankind.
