So what if the Big bang and as such the universe is the creation of a Mind? Our own existence is the best evidence that this is a possibility.
That really crappy attempt at an analogy is a testament to our lowly origins. Your ape brain evolved over millions of years to communicate with and be able to relate to other humans. That's why you don't see a problem personifying the Universe, like a child drawing the Sun with a face. The Universe and human body are not alike - trying to apply your feeble intuition to cosmology is naive and futile. I hope you are a child, because then this kind of thinking could be considered "cute" - otherwise you just come across as a self-centered, ignorant and not at all smart.
