We only live short lives before the icy hand of death pulls us into oblivion, I don't think we should exaggerate our importance. The universe pretty much doesn't exist because matter and energy are such an insignificant amount of the universe its almost like matter and energy are imperfections in a non-existent universe. I mean the universe is approaching 100% empty and every atom is approaching 100% empty etc, the space occupied by anything in the universe is utterly insignificant.
Many stars have had a billion years head start on the Sun and yet we see no billion year old civilisations flying about between the stars. The universe seems pretty dead, strangely so. A billion year old civilisation would easily have time to populate our galaxy and possibly many other galaxies yet we see and hear nothing.
The other day I was thinking about ufo abductions and how people say they see small grey men with big heads, often blinding light and examinations sometimes rectal. I was thinking this doesn't sound like alien abductions at all.
Firstly aliens are small, large heads, weak, same number of eyes, nostrils, ears etc and seem to have followed the same path as us from monkeys that have climbed down from the trees and walked upright. What they really look like is future human beings not aliens. An alien world is likely to be a different size, different gravity, different chemicals and its rules for life would be set at an early level. They actually seem like future humans not aliens.
Blinding light sounds like when someone is taken out of a coma or just wakes up and open's their eyes for the first time.
Rectal examination and other medical procedures yet no indication of such procedures when examined later.
What it really sounds like is someone being taken out of a virtual reality existence back into reality, maybe the body needs medical attention and needs waking up. Maybe normally when this happens people aren't conscious but occasionally there is an issue and people remember parts of being woken up. The blinding light is just eyes adjusting after being closed a long time. Of course no indication of a medical procedure in their virtual existence as that happened in reality.
I just feel there is the possibility of us existing in a VR experience without us knowing it. Maybe life is boring in the future and people fancy going back to a simple life for a while. Also it would explain the strange absence of alien life elsewhere (not part of the simulation).
In which case we are our own gods because our reality is 100% a creation of future humans which we actually are but don't know it.
When you think about how VR has developed in only a few decades it certainly isn't going to be that impressive to create a VR world that we believe is 100% reality.
It would also explain stuff like people who believe they existed in a previous time because they did actually exist by being another person in a VR simulation previously.
My point is the theory that we are in a shared virtual reality actually works really well on many levels and explains many things. So we may in-fact be our own gods.
