What if our existence was a game for an advanced life form?

Question

Think about it this way. I'm not saying this is the way it is but just look at it this way. I thought about this and put it in modern computer terms. Life on this world was created - (The game was installed). Dinosaurs walked the earth - (Earth version 1). A meteor wiped out the Dinosaurs leaving a different life form to populate the Earth - (Earth upgrade 1). Man walked the Earth and became decodent and left the path and the great flood came - (Earth upgrade 2). Crist came to Earth to guide his children - (Christ was an interactive player in the game). Christ was crusified and died. - (He lost and was killed in the game). On the third day Christ rose from the dead. - (He spawned back into the game). He told his deciples he would return one day. - ( He would come back a play again later). There have been many upgrades, the Midevil Times, the Rennisance, the Space Age, etc. What if the UFO's people see are no more than a monitoring system for the game? Think about it.

Answer 1

that's freaky. here's why: when me and my friend were little, about 8 years old or so we were playing with her doll house. i don't know where it came from but we started talking about what if we were somebody elses dolls and somebody was playing with us? it has been over 20ish years since then and i still remember this because it has messed with me from time to time, plus it was a screwed up conversation for a couple of 8 year olds to be having to begin with. Anyways to answer your question yes.

Answer 2

Interesting but if we're going to go out into the far reaches of possibilities, then it's more likely that humans were created as a hybrid species by a more intelligent species who simply left. If you do some research, you'll find alot of archeological information that supports advanced pre-judeo/christian cultures. these cultures often have duplicate characters for those found in religious texts. Alot of these really older stone texts tell tales that are later mimicked in the koran/bible and others thousands of years later.

People would rather belief in the mockery of fantasy than in any hard evidence that is actually dug up by real science.

Answer 3

Just as possible as any other explanation. My own slight variation on this is that I have been placed in this 'game' and everything and eveybody else are computer generated.
There's a classic episode of the British TV comedy 'Red Dwarf' where this scenario happens.

Answer 4

if life is a game, we can only win, lose or draw.lose means die.wins mean survive and draw means exist.if that is the case, we must try to win it. i prefer to think life as aboring game. you see we & dinosaur & robot are no different. we all hav legs and walking programmes(memory) in our mind that is why we can walk. and love is just a feature that exist in atom & human to make us attract to each other to make molecules or baby. we eat to survive so that we can continue to play this game. lastly , i dont think life ever existed bcause we as human are made of atoms but we cant say atom have life, do we? you may say that our minds are very special. but actually we are only thinking what we can think. (only to our senses and logic). we are stilll thinking the same thing for the past ???? years ( food, technology[ the use of stone to crack nuts, the use of nutcrackers to crack nuts, the use of machines to crack nuts]) gotta eat now. any question plz email me.

Answer 5

Ive had that thought before, like, what if your own existence is a game. I mean, your real body could be in a virtual chamber right now, and everything around you was digitally created for your enjoyment. Kinda scary...

Answer 6

I read a book called Replay by Ken ???. It was about a guy who started reliving his life over and over. He met up with a woman to whom the same thing was happening. They found yet another guy to whom it was happening, but he was nuts.

He had gotten the idea that life was just a play for the gods, and in order to win you had to provide them with the most amusement. His idea of their idea of amusement was to murder people.

Answer 7

what if christ and all the rest of the players are just being conned, and they themselves are just a game for a life form more advanced than they themselves are? sounds just as plausible.

Answer 8

If that's the case, life is a game for another life form, then I have scored a lot!!!

Answer 9

Well that would be very strange indeed. I'm sure it's possible but kinda doesn't seem all that likely to me. That is something to think about though.

Answer 10

If life is a game, does anyone know the cheat code for "God Mode" or "infinite energy"?
