I do hope life on Earth was an accident (Or a rare occurance of God, for you theologans); that way, we can go forth and conquer a large portion of the Universe uncontested! Then, when we have such world-building capabilities, we can construct a new Sol System, exactly like our old one, and treat it like an ant farm. Unless, God forbid, the new Earthlings develop quickly without anyone watching them, and they rise up, and shatter our empire! Oh how terrible would that be! We'd have to use our Moon-sized space station to blow up their planet to make sure they don't.

But then, would we not be God, having created and watched over His creation, possibly visiting in the form of angelic messengers, ensuring the protection of some and the destruction of others, ultimatly bringing an end to His creation?

Is God nothing more than what was once us, but advanced and evolved in every way, recreating us? Perhaps one of us got out, and destroyed the emprire, only to begin anew another one, with antother such experiment? How many times has it happened? How many more times will it happen?

For that sleep that you will lose over the next few days, you are welcome.
