Because if we're going to have a political thread we might as well go the whole hog.
Now, let me preface this by saying I'm a Catholic. Not a very devout one (anyone who has heard me at the footy can attest to that) but I do think there is a God.
And of course, I love to overthink things. So I've been thinking about where God came from. I know there are Atheists on here, and I can't understand how anyone, when we know so little about the Universe, can completely discount the notion that there is at least one God-like creature out there. Do I believe in the six-day theory? No. But I don't believe that our evolution wasn't meddled with by another more evolved being (or even beings). Some of things I've been thinking are:
1. Our God(s) were the last of His/their kind, which has either been decimated through war or disease, or even that other Gods have moved on to another Universe, got lonely and put together some planets and zapped one to create life. Highly unlikely IMO.
2. Our God(s) were just wandering through the cosmos one day and stumbled upon our planet, wherein they started interferring. Humans started getting smarter, and the God(s) started thinking "Uh oh, they could get on to us" and got out while the going was good. I think this one is the more likely of the two theories I have.
Who knows what we might find out in space when we're really able to explore it properly.
And all of that thinking has made my noggin hurt.
