The potential to become gods.

Science is working wonders. To the point that some day we'll be able to create life. From scratch. Yes, just like god. We've already created molecules that can be used as building blocks for all sorts of synthetic things. And now maybe life itself. That's amazing. But maybe also scary. For some people. Thinking maybe we are going somewhere where we shouldn't be going. Into god's realm. But then, maybe there are no bounds. Our actual god may be no more than another civilization. Far advanced. That learned to create earthlings. Or human beings. And then sent us off. To inhabit this planet. A zoo, so to speak. Maybe we were created for this specific environment. I could imagine the creation of other strange and exotic types of intelligent life forms. Capable of inhabiting such planets as Mercury, Mars, Venus. Even gaseous planets such as Jupiter and Neptune. I think of that as wonderful. Astounding. Awesome. Imagine putting us in a domain that would bring us much closer to god. Yes, I think we have the potential to become creators. Gods. --Jim Broede
