Now before I start, give me a little leeway on this one. I might sound crazy.
I first thought up this theory while listening to an Easter reading from the Genesis, (for those who know not: It’s all about how God created the world in 7 days flat).
God created man, and trees and animals and so on.
But right now, scientists somewhere are trying to create artificial life. Trying to create life from nothing at all. Cell stem research, Genetic something, whatever. And I have absolutely no doubt, that some day in the not so near future they will succeed. They will be able to create a human out of nothing at all.
Elsewhere, other scientists are researching the mysteries of space-time. They’re trying to see into the future or the past. They’re trying to send stuff back into time. You know, like in Back to the Future and so on. And I’m pretty sure that soon life will imitate art and they too will succeed. Sure we’re going to be able to time-travel someday in the future.
Now combine the two discoveries. What would happen if a bunch of scientists from the distant future traveled way, way, way, way, way back in time and planted life?
So technically, if the human race, created itself, you gave birth to you. Weird.
Ok now back to the mediocre science of it.
This would give a plausible explanation to creation i.e. We create ourselves. Because nature seems to have a very definitive science to it. One that's way ahead of us.
Case in point. Read this article or read the short version that follows:
http://www.mumbaimirror.com/article/7/201010052010100502384325239f1e98/A-buggy-computer.html
For those who choose not to read that article, here’s the short version. There’s a super-cool green beetle that reflects the same shade of green from all angles. Apparently, the crystal structure of the beetle has inspired scientists to design computers that will be faster and use light instead of electricity.
Now, it seems that nature has inspired technology. But if we apply my afore-said theory, what if this discovery evolved and such computer structures were somehow incorporated into a beetle and then planted in the past? Because to me, nature seemed rather very spot-on on this beetle. A little suspiciously so, too.
The same for learnings. Take the martial arts. Who discovered the martial arts? Well chances are it started in India. Chances are it started in China. No one is really one hundred percent sure. But what if, the martial arts were taught to someone in the past. From where it has grown to where it is today and where it could be in the past.
In short, my theory involves humans going back and helping the past. Kind of like, a cyclic future. Now note: I do not in anyway dispute the presence of a God. The universe and time was created by him, the idea of and that’s something we’ll never ever get a complete grasp of. Just that, I think we helped ourselves along the way.
You know what they say: Life comes full circle.
