+211 What if the world we live in and believe to be real was just a complex and imaginary? What if it was just pixels and binary codes? Maybe our lives are part of a huge computerized program controled by superior beings who have an intellectual level beyond what we humans can ever understand, we could be some experiment they're carrying out and maybe they're the ones or the one some of us call god. As interesting this thought gets, it could explain the seeming perfection of our universe, amirite?

Oh you mean The Matrix?

It's similar to the matrix but it's not the same thing. Actually, this is a real theory. I'll look up what it's called and post it here.

My theory is that everything in the universe is actually made out of pudding. I think your theory makes better sense.

It's called God. :)

Normally I don't bring my religion to amirite because of all the people that get offended, but I agree with you. People try to explain things as the result of a superior being, then call us crazy for believing in God...

??? Anyone who legitimately thinks this is how the universe is run and calls you crazy for believing in a god is an idiot. 99 percent of people who call you an idiot for believing in a god don't believe in any sort of supernatural being themselves.

There are many beliefs about 'God', just stating 'God' is a little ambiguous. Which 'God' are you talking about?

by Anonymous 12 years ago

It doesn't matter which God I was talking about, because pretty much any religion out there is attacked.

Shit, now they're going to kill off all of those on amirite because we figured them out.

There is no proof for reality, outside the belief that reality exists. So the evidence of reality, begins with the assumption that reality exists. It depends on how you view reality, do we live in an objective universe? Or is it a subjective reality? An if it is, how is it to be perceived. Are we merely dreamers within a dream? Subjective reality can be approached in many different ways. A 'god' is a possibility within this theory, we may merely be representations of his subconscious, or on a level of reality which he has created. Or we, as individuals, may be the sole creator of our reality, and others are merely projections of ourselves. The universe we live in could be 'perfect' because as a creation of our subconscious we make it so, or as the creation of a being greater than ourselves. In an objective universe there is an underlying reality which exists independently from our consciousness. Or even the theory of a meta-universe. But as it is impossible to prove, any theory we accept must be accepted through faith. don't know If that made any sense, sorry (:

That made plenty of sense. In the words of Rene Descartes: "Cogito ergo sum." "I think, therefore I am." He was a philosopher who theorized that any reality is questionable except our ability to process it. The only existence he was sure about was that of his own, because of his very capability of thought. Think about it, anything you perceive could be manufactured by the mind. Thus, the only constant existence is the mind itself.

Anything is possible, however most of what is possible isn't very likely.

My theory is that there was nothing and then it exploded.

If our universe is just a part of a computer program created by superior beings in another universe, then who created that universe?

by Anonymous 12 years ago

That could be like asking who created God.

Or, we could be digital clones inside a digital world for people who are controlling us through animus-like machines Or it could be a giant game of sims social. I don't know.

So just to make this post shorter. We're the Sims 3?
