Why are We Here? A Different Approach

God forbid that the following should ever happen. It almost happened when the fate of mankind was in the balance at Gethsemane. There really was a risk that something could have gone wrong. Otherwise Christ and God really didn't risk anything by sending Jesus Christ to die for humanity at infinite risk to himself and the Godhead.

The following is not meant to disrespect God or those of us who believe in Him. It is simply one man's attempt to answer the age old question: Why are we here? Of course, it is an approach for a believer in God that is admittedly peculiar and to some, problematic.

Again, what if, and this is a really big what if--by some terrible disaster, something happened to God? We, his heirs, spiritual and ethical, would still be in the universe to continue his vision for the universe, or the multiverse, or whatever kind of Meta-Space continuum exists beyond the parameters of our known universe. The laws of nature that God put into place would still continue to operate in the same way that a self-repairing mechanical device continues to exist as long as it is able to find newer sources of energy for itself to continue its intended function.

That might explain why there are so many of us on planet earth. We are God's insurance should anything ever happen to him. We really are the children of God. Why else create us and so many of us? Not that it will ever happen, but even we with our imperfect knowledge make plans for our children and, some of us, for our children's children. We are making those plans, ultimately, for us. So that our lives were not lived in vain. So that our descendants carry on our genes, our vision, our plans. At least that is the ideal.

With this remote and unlikely possibility in mind, humanity should make as many "what if" plans as possible. What if the asteroids that caused mass extinctions every 26 million years, wiped us out as well? What if some self-destructive principle our movement or ism alive in the world today would eventually wreak as much destruction on humanity as would that asteroid destroyer? What if some unknown but truly virulent virus were to develop in decades or centuries from now and wipe out most, or all of humanity?

All the beauty that God created, all his progeny, all his plans for us would end with these cataclysms. Every effort that can be made to protect present and future life should be made. Every resource that is now wasted should be better employed towards centuries-encompassing goals. What an utter tragedy if because of lack of vision or planning on the part of humanity, God's humanity, all the beauty and wonder and excellence that he created, is one day wiped out, with no new seed to make it grow again?

In more ways that we can imagine, not only do we live through God, but God lives through us, as well. May God and humanity continue this symbiotic relationship endlessly.

Cybernetic Reproduction

Neo-flesh covered cybernetic entities produce miniature versions of themselves that grow over a 21 year period into adult versions. Sex is for both personal fulfillment and procreation.

Each world is encased in orbs of neo-metal which in turn are enclosed within a larger orb. In effect, the larger orb is the known universe.

Some theorize that other orbs exist outside their universe containing worlds that exist as well as those in their known universe.

In an accidental time travel incident, archeologists from the known universe travel through a gateway out of their universe and into another universe or universes and make a startling discovery. They find a skeleton of an entity like themselves, but it is not made of neo-bone, but rather of a nonmetalic substance unknown to entitykind. The substance is named anti-bone. The records show that this "entity" was covered in anti-flesh and existed millions or billions of years before the arrival of entitykind. Some wonder if perhaps this accidental revelation was not so accidental after all. The original anti-entity could have made the time travel possible so that entitykind could learn the source of their being and world. Some then wondered how the anti-entity came to be and if there were others like it. Others insisted the discovery be kept secret as to not undermine society's smooth functioning.

The return trip was made impossible, but the discoverers were able to continue their existence, apparently forever, in the newly discovered universe where they lived a new existence without any further contact with their past universe. Perhaps they themselves would someday design a world within their world and cause a time traveler from its distant future to find their neo-bone remains.

The Future Creates the Past

Imagine a perfect being from the very distant future where perfection, as well as near perfection, has been achieved by sentient intelligences. Before the final death throes of the universe, or the metaverse if there really is a metaverse, this perfect being travels eons back in time knowing all that would happen in the universe. This perfect being travels back in time to a point before the actual occurrence of the Big Bang and jump starts the event itself.

Of course, quantum mechanics being what it is, the very same set of events do not come to pass as they did during the previous perception of the universe. Nevertheless, the general direction and chain of events would be very similar. This pre-knowledge of how things should turn out the second time around, would in effect be as close to omniscience as is possible.

The question as to how or where this perfect being came from in the first place, has no meaning. How can it? The simplest answer is that the future was the source of its being. The future will ever be the source of its being. The future really does contain the seeds of its own past because the future is perfect. It is perfect because it is still in the process of being born, unlike the past which came and went with all its imperfections and the present which is continually becoming the past.

The End creates the Beginning. The Beginning creates the End. It is all a cycle.
