This post is not meant to be blasphemous to non-atheists on this forum , just philosophical. I refer to ‘A’ God rather than ‘The Creator’.
It;s 10,000 years in the future and you are a PhD student with a brain the size of a planet, that has incredible technology at your fingertips to create life, similar to humans living today or better, intelligently and physically. To them, if they discovered you, you would be either an alien or God or both. Would you give them free will to decide their own future and what was right or wrong? Would you have a resurrection for all of them or most of them after they died?
Here’s what I would do:1. I would let them do whatever they wanted and whatever nature caused: War, holocausts, famine, earthquakes, floods. I would let them create nutty religions, write ‘holy’ books, bestow Prophet status on certain ones, and I wouldn’t generally interfere. However…..2. I would resurrect all of them at some future date (after all, I have the technology) , to let them decide where they succeeded and where they screwed up. ‘Awakening’
Here’s what I would NOT do:1. Kill them all in a flood or Armageddon and start again. My professor would fail my PhD. Null poins (to use a Eurovision song contest expression) .2. Let them live for longer than a lifetime on a planet I had designed, say 100 years…in case there was an over population and food run out. Prior to their natural deaths and awaking.
Any thoughts?
