Quote by: CoffeeSaint  Personally, I really like the theory. On the other hand, we are too small in scope to be considered the universe's god. |
I am not suggesting that we are the Universe's god. How can a part of something be the god of that same thing?
I'm suggesting that we as self-aware, intelligent life that is an integral part of the Universe may be the means--a modest start to be sure--through which the Universe becomes fully self-aware and able, as we are, to make choices about itself.
We are not too small in scope. As an analogy, consider that human beings start off as a sperm and an egg--hardly an auspicious beginning.
And consider that life on this planet started with carbon-based amino acids, likely the product of electrical activity and some carbon.
The idea that, as a part of the Universe, we are the "sperm and egg" or the seed "amino acid" of a self-aware Universe is not out of the realm of possibility, in my view.
