Anyone else? I can only otherwise conclude that this is something people haven't thought about very much.
This is an excellent thread topic, robvalue. I've often considered this question myself. If it turns out that we were the design of some other life-form, then why must we conclude that this life-form is a deity? Perhaps what we perceive to be reality is simply the result of some life-form's high school science project?
Furthermore, if we are the product (in some way) of the free thought and curiosity of this life-form, then wouldn't it make sense for us to develop those same traits by creating our own meaning and being leaders of this reality in our own way; rather than relying on this creator to constantly lead us?
