The unmoved mover

Exactly. If you insist something doesn't have to submit to this "must have a..." rule, then why arbitrarily assume it is one step backwards from our entire reality?

Notice how it's always one step back, too. At least in religious circles. It's our reality, then a "God". It's never our reality, then a crappy computer programmer in another reality, which was in turn created by a "God".

God is a placeholder for "I don't know". Yet it makes the person feel that they have an actual answer so they stop looking; hence the danger.
