That gives us the hypothetical ability to do things never contemplated before.

We are too immature as a species to be playing with this stuff...

With enough $$$, hypothetical turns into realization... And those who control the $$$ will control its outcome.

this is a cracker

i'd like to throw the "Matrix" into the mix aswell (tho in a sideways and technically inaccurate fashion)..
if we are designing LIFE to suit OUR needs...thus abandoning any right to claim LIFE as a special and unique element in the universe..and one which should be respected as such...and that does include us also

then...

Whose needs are WE designed to fullfill...?

adinfinitum
are we standing in an endless hall of mirrors?
whose rules are we playing by...? should we be telling "some-one" to "sod off"???

evoloution tells us that "the ends justify the means" and i'm not sure religion really says any different..

we ought to spend a couple of hundred years thinking about this before we play this "ball"
how likely is that to happen?? zero percent..

might be a clue there..matrix style..i say we find the miserable apeths who designed us to suit their needs.. and tell 'em to "sod off"...lol...madness of course...or is it...?? danger will robinson danger...

What seems to imply that we fill any need or that we were designed?

nothing and everything...depending on your point of view i suppose...which in a hall of mirrors is going to be at best unreliable .we have an incomplete view of the universe (to say the least lol)..the question is does the universe have an incomplete view of us?...even the evoloutionary concept exhibits some sort of pattern...some sort of objective no matter how randomly and unitelligbly arrived at...where did that come from ? why evolve at all?? if not to fullfill some sort of plan? even if it is just "survival of the fittest"...and if that 'aint some sort of a plan then i don't know what else is?
it's a hell of a circular argument i know but it's an entertaining one...we don't know...that's probably half the fun of it..we don't think about this stuff enough..we just rush ahead assuming we are sure of ourselves...assuming we have it all under control...we 'aint got "diddly squat" under control...which is where the contemplation of universe as our home (which might be construed as religious thought) comes in...gawd we aint even "potty trained" as yet (were still ****ting on our home planet) lol bit early to be playing god...

i honestly don't know..which is a relief..but the questions are great !
