      We are all gods

      In quantum mechanic's experiments, like the double slit experiment,t it can be shown that the act of observing an event effects the outcome of that event. So I was thinking maybe we all collectively create the reality in which we live and in essence we are all the architects of the universe. Without any conscious being the whole universe would exist in superposition without anything definite ever happening.

      But then comes the question where did intelligence ultimately come from? Non-intelligence can not breed intelligence. My point being that there must be an ultimate intelligence from which all intelligence comes.

      And if in fact we were all collectively living and creating our own reality, then how can one live in unison, with one another and not affect the ultimate outcome of the persons next to us? But then again order is created from chaos!!

      Oh geez. There must be a super duper ultimate intelligence from which ultimate intelligence comes...

      Who is to say that the universe itself at its fundamental level is not the ultimate intelligence? I don't see the need to push the cause of intelligence to some sort of God, which you could ask the same question about, "who created God? Can you see the fallacy within the argument that intelligence must have come from other intelligence? Either intelligence was spawned out of non-intelligence or intelligence itself is woven into the fabric of space time. Trying to say that some intelligence outside of the universe created intelligence within the universe seems rather arbitrary since there is no evidence for this and no way to test it. A theoretical quantum physicist named Amit Goswami seems to believe that the universe itself at the fundamental level is simply consciousness and all the information that is held within the universe. He has written books on the subject that are quite fascinating. I agree with him on this idea. I think that we are the universe itself become conscious within itself in order to explore and understand itself. This awaking of the universe within itself is accomplished through evolution.
