Ok don't
me and rule out my theory just yet or think I am wack and trying to make you believe in God etc. I got a theory about God, you know the bloke that most religions in the world worship and praise, and it comes from the main point of the reinvented Battlestar Galactica sci-fi show created by Ronald D. Moore.
1. Most people think of God as a person, you know a dude with a white beard, wearing a robe, sitting on a chair etc, but I think God is more of a machine/form of intelligence beyond ours, not biological but in the similar sense of a computer AI, very advanced not silicon based (think quantum based computing and beyond) , a being that can literally think of something and that something becomes reality (big bang), a being that exists outside the universe beyond our time and space.
2. The Connection to BSG, God (the creator), makes humans (the creations), humans get advanced they eventually make thinking machines (replicating the way humans think, these are self aware beings), in turn these machines make machines, they get more advanced, machine make biological based machines and the cycle repeats. Maybe due to the fact that the resulting offspring may become too advanced: Each generation gets limited : biological based entities only have a finite life span, non biological based beings have a longer life span, but either way there is a flaw in the dna or coding that results in eventual death / data corruption / war / doom etc.
3. God made us in his image, but he didn?t make us exactly like him, were self aware, smell, taste, touch etc, but we can?t simply think of something and it pops into existence etc were simply a creation of the creator, were designed for a purpose that is only know to him but that purpose is no doubt to worship him etc, but in a sense it could be to see if his creations could eventually come to a point in their existence where they could understand the creator, maybe to a certain extent and actually appreciate what he has done for us. Think of it as a fine wine, leave it longer to mature, you appreciate it more. It?s a two way process with the big man.
4. I probably see God a bit bemused if he created a being that knew it all from day one, a created being that was all powerful etc I guess that would be too easy and no doubt, very dangerous (to create a equal).
So were in a sense, we are a long term project by God to create beings that can learn, develop and respect the master, but were are limited for a reason and a very good reason, man can create life and artificial life, but man or his creations can never be equal to God as this would result in chaos.
So they you go, that?s my theory, I hope the big man digs it. What you peeps think?
