| Summary | "The Deep Space Scrolls" by Robert F. Young is a science fiction novella written in the early 1960s. The book explores profound themes surrounding mythology, humanity's place in the cosmos, and the nature of divinity through the lens of a fictional Senate hearing about a significant space mission. The story questions our understanding of God and human history, proposing that there may be a deeper connection between humanity and extraterrestrial origins. In the narrative, Lieutenant Colonel Willard S. Greaves recounts his experience aboard the spacecraft Camaraderie 17, during which he and his commander encounter a mysterious vessel designated as Spaceship X. After boarding this abandoned craft, Greaves discovers artifacts, including scrolls and a photograph suggesting a connection to ancient religious narratives, notably the biblical story of Noah's Ark. As he presents his findings to the Senate, the dialogue uncovers the implications of this discovery on human spirituality and the possibility of divine origins beyond Earth. The book culminates in a transformative realization, leading the characters to reconsider their understanding of God and humanity's relationship with the universe.
