"If God controls time, then all time is pre-decided."
Donnie tells Monnitoff about the channels. Monnitoff stops him: "I could lose my job." Dr Thurman, in the same days, is told about the spears too.
Who is there
In Sparrow's terms
- God's Channel
- The path each person is predestined to travel, as Donnie describes it to Professor Monnitoff: if God controls time, every living thing moves along a set channel.
- Liquid Spears
- The translucent, water-like tendrils Donnie sees extending from people's chests, showing the path each person is about to take. The name is Donnie's own: he tells Dr Thurman they are "like liquid" and come out of the chest "like spears".
