Before you read my
theory, I am not a writer. These are my thoughts. These thoughts may come upon as crazy or
immature and to some it may make sense. We are all entitled to have thoughts.
Read it with an open mind and consider the possibilities.
Remember, for someone
500 years ago, the idea of flying a plane, talking to someone through piece of
box, going into space, colonizing mars and moon may sound crazy .
Have you ever made tea
for yourself?
Assuming yes, you
must have observed/seen or learned from someone. You know the process from
beginning and the end. You have to move the stuff around like kettle,
ingredients, and fire up the burner, put the things into right mixture and
finally there is a “You” the creator. Take one thing out of the equation, and
the whole thing can be a mess.
The bottom line
is, everything has a creator to put right things into the mixture. Nothing
comes out of a thin air. There is nothing magical about the universe. Everything
is either cause of something or effect of something or both.
I believe our
imagination of god/s is way off the mark and not even remotely close to the
ultimate truth. How we picture our gods is a product of fancy storytelling. If
you stop and think about it, it’s happening right now around you.
The modern age spiritual
gurus are treated nothing less than gods. People keep their pictures at home,
in their cars, workstation and worship them. If we had time machine and jump
about 500 years in future, you may see people celebrating Baba Ramdev jayanti, the
god of health & Sadhguru as god of wisdom, Xi Jinping as a god of death and
destruction.
It stems from the
fact that people want to believe in divinity because it gives them hope to
fight uncertainty. It gives them assurance that someone has all the answers,
someone they can blame for their failures, or loss and we also worship them to
expect good luck in return. If you don’t give your god due credit of your
success, god may take it away from you.
If you ask me, I
don’t believe in god. Atleast not the way most people do.
Now let’s talk
about humans. I have two theories of genesis of humans
My first theory “One
that makes sense”:
I believe in a
conscious energy that flows through all of us and flows through every matter in
the universe. It’s what we learned from science over the years and as soon as
we grow up and get entangled in the struggle of life, it goes out of the window
first thing and everything becomes about god and we believe god is pulling all
the threads. It’s easy to bring god into your business than introspect about
your role in your failure or loss.
I believe we are
on our own. Our actions leads to consequences and decide our fate. Our present
decides our good and bad times of the past. Our present becomes the deciding
factor here.
For example, you
are having a bad week and it’s getting worse and you can’t see the light or way
out of this pickle. You come to think how things were great just a week ago.
You were loving your work, you were having good time with your friends, bf/s,
gf/s. Never in your dreams had you thought that things will change for worse.
Suddenly, that “life as usual”
becomes “those were the good days”
Even if god is
there, it doesn’t meddle in your affairs. He doesn’t gives a rat’s ass about
your break-up, your job loss, promotion etc. He has a universe to run and is
probably outnumbered.
My second theory “the
crazy one”:
I believe we were
created by a superior race of aliens and planted on earth. A superior race of
aliens created us in their image. Sounds crazy? We are also trying to create
robots and artificial intelligence in our image. It makes sense, right?
We are trying to
create something exactly like us or may be even better than us. Something that looks
like us, walk like us, talk like us and think likes us etc.
If you look at
human system, every part and organ is connected to each other through nerves
and we run on fuel that is glucose we get from food.
Similarly, Robots
with artificial intelligence have a wiring system just like our nerve system, a
source of power, a processor like our brains etc. It’s just that we are not
that advanced yet to create something that can be on its own.
It’s just a matter
of time, may be 500 years later, humans may get wiped off because of natural
calamities, diseases or nuclear war etc. only metal will survive in the forms
of advanced artificial intelligence and robots and we will be gods as a product
of their fancy storytelling. After all, no creation is perfect.
So the next question is are
we alone in the universe?
Universe is
infinite. We can only see as far our torch throws the light. Just so we can’t
see something, doesn’t mean it’s not there. It only means other civilizations are
out of each other’s reach.

Let’s break it down
A sun is basically
a star just like the ones we see in the sky at night. We call the nearest star
to our planet, The Sun. The sun has 9 planets revolving around it and one has
life. In our galaxy, there are billions of stars which means there are chances
that there are atleast millions of habitable planets around these stars. And,
again there are billions of galaxies which has billions of star in each one of
them. Imagine the possibilities of life in the universe.
So I ask you again, are
we alone in the universe?
Or is there
another you and me somewhere in another galaxy wondering about the same thing J
Beautiful thoughts. It may or may not be true.
