This is a very far fetched thought, but we truly cannot and do not know anything about human existence. What we think we know (god, genetics, ect.) may all be false. Ergo, I propose the theory that we, and the world in which we live may be one big science experiment. We've all grown bacteria in science class at one time or another. We could be some person's bacteria experiment. We don't know, will we ever know?This may be some stupid thing that only a weirdo like me could dream up...oh well.

heh, this is pretty much the same thing as Douglas Adams Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy i believe...one of those books it says earth is really a big computer or something, or a failed experiement created by a computer...I forget, I only read the books once a few years ago.

but yea, we really dont know much....there's a whole universe out there....we are just a speck

I don't want this to be a snpoiler but the Earth is a computer designed to created a question to the answer 42.

Your idea GB06 reflects that of the Alien Ant Farm theory. We are just something for a greater existance to watch.

The more we learn the more we realize we know nothing.

Yeah, this is similar to what I thought of a while ago: that our reality could merely be a computer simulation. And funnily enough I saw a television programme a few weeks ago which claimed the same thing (I was amazed, because I thought my idea was fairly ridiculous!).

I like to think that our reality is like a training course for another being in another reality, so it is our job to experience and learn as much as we possibly can in our lifetime. (Which I reckon is also a good philosophy for life.)

Also if we are to keep the chain of education evolution going we should be creating reality simulations for our newborn, so that they can quickly learn how life works in a safer environment, and it would extend their outlook on life to have a real afterlife, after they come out of the simulation.

Is anyone understanding what I mean?

I'm going to carry on living my life, gaining as much knowledge as possible and as much experience as possible, in order to please myself and the being that I may be educating. Perhaps the being living through my eyes is my God?

Interesting.
