What if humans are just the creation of much wiser/smarter beings? I'm not saying Gods...I literally mean living beings. And what if THEY are just the creation of much wiser/smarter beings. I don't buy the God/Jesus fairy tale in-fact I'm not entirely fond of mainstream religions. I also don't buy that we are just "here" and that's that. So what if we are just creations of beings much wiser than us? I mean look at us...we've engineered bacteria that can excrete petroleum. Now that's smarts. What if in a million years or so we move on to a different planet (as a species) and other beings evolve and occupy Earth and THEY start calling US gods? |

Just to amuse me, let's look at the possibility of a simulated universe. If a universe could be perfectly simulated with no clues to us that this is the case, then there would probably be many of them. Beta runs, and then various finished products. This means that for the one real universe, there would be many simulated universes. By some arguments of logic, this would mean that if this is so, we are most likely in one of these simulated universes, based on percentages and statistics alone. |

---o--- my DCs say I'm dreamy.
That would imply to me that there are more creations similar to us in other places. Think about it... when you make something, it usually reflects you in some way. If the species that engineered us is anything like us, they have a jealous streak. If one group engineered intelligent life and put it on a planet, you can be sure others would try too. |

Fair enough. Some ancient cultures wholeheartedly believe that we were created by a more advanced race of beings, and that those creators were created by an even more advanced race of beings. Take the Sumerians for example, - they believed the Annunaki engineered mankind. The Dogon Tribe of Africa believe they were created by beings from the Sirius star system. And many more just like them. I'm not saying aliens created us because for one, the term alien is perceptually associated with a Mexican on a floating door or a big grey with bulging eyes mutilating cattle at odd hours of the night. I'm merely saying It's quite possible that we were created...to create. We have continuously evolved and are making incremental leaps and bounds in the fields of genetic engineering, and science as a whole. I mentioned earlier that scientists have already engineered bacteria to excrete (as waste) petroleum. Hello? Useful? |

This is a cool idea, but I see one flaw. |

This shit never happens to me
That's just it, life was created by life. Considering the span of the universe, it's possible life existed and started creating life quite early on. And perhaps an even wiser/smarter group of beings built this universe (and perhaps others) if you believe in the multi-verse theory. Perhaps wrapping our minds around this conundrum is harder than trying to teach an ant russian? |

What if we're the product of sadistic gits and are now actually a little brighter than they ever got? |

If you have a sense of caring for others, you will manifest a kind of inner strength in spite of your own difficulties and problems. With this strength, your own problems will seem less significant and bothersome to you. By going beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain inner strength, self-confidence, courage, and a greater sense of calm.Dalai Lama

If this is the truth, Jeff, how would it change your liffe and ideologies? |

We are sophisticated biological androids. Yes....yes |

Things are not as they seem
So if there was nothing before life, since only life can make itself, then does that mean the past is infinite? Or do we only care about our own, specific human origins? |

If something like this were proven some day, it'd be cool, but literally nothing about my life or who I am as a person would change. |

Most theories that explain how we came to be are inadequate, something is definitely missing. This allows the holes to be filled by religion and magical tales. |
