Are we part of a computer game?


We now have computer games that are larger than life. They replicate reality in an eerily near-perfect way. What if we ourselves are part of a computer (or whatever THEY call it) game designed by intelligence greater than us (IGTU)? What if the whole universe is a game?

Scientists have not been able to track our origins beyond the big bang. I think the big bang happened when the start button was activated by IGTU. They designed the entire system from creation to extinction. Each galaxy might be a different type of game, similar to the Mario series. And each lifetime represents a level. You cross seven levels and then you reach Heaven!

If this thought could be further contemplated upon, we could draw parallels for most instances. And if you think about it, IGTU is similar to God. Imagine God holding a Wii console and directing our every movement. Sounds familiar?

Well, if we are part of such a computer game, then I surely hope that the IGTU who is playing my game is the winner! Go, my IGTU, go!
