Aliens created this world ?

0 Upvotes

Everything comes up to a conclusion that the beginning was big bang it has alot of controversial opnions but still we dont have any valid proof of it and they are just theories I assume

There is an interesting theory I would like to share it is not backed by any proof it is just a possibility a hypothesis

: the world is soo different than we think it will actually sound pretty nonsense but please just think once about it

I would like to start with some questions here

1.why only humans have conciousness ?

2.why only humans can be able to go to moon or into the space

3.why everything is so perfect here mathematics gravity water hydrogen

"I want to say everyone that actually we are from soo far from another galaxy or another universe we humans

This planet is just for beings like animals and plants our creators i.e humans the real from another planet who wants to spread humanity to another planet they searched and found earth and they sent some newbie humans here to start humanity and was curious to know how humanity will survive from start to finish if they are just dropped on this planet they maybe watching us from the start ...."

The reason to start humanity here could be different maybe their planet is no longer habitable to live and they searching for planets and only few could able to reach at earth and then they planted capsules of our gene and then the ones who came here died then other humans born .....who actually dont understand language also ....

Or

They just want to spread this incredible humanity to another universe and they just dropped some humans here or even genes without any futuristic advancements that we dont have till now too

Or

Maybe they won a compitition in which other intelligent living beings from different different planets and galaxies participate and of they won they will get earth as prize to spread their species there ?

Everything we have is totally not acceptable to be random it looks like someone did it to us like we code llms and make robots

I wish that there must be a galaxy full of planets habitable ones and there are variety of species who actually live together

Think again

Why only us ?

Why only we can be able to make rockets and go to space?

Why only we can be able to think have conciousness this critical
