I hope it is not God himself... The US bombed it ! We don't have enough problems here on earth, we have to go bomb the moon. That has to be wicked. Well, whoever lives “in” the moon, might be dead.

Look up something called "ancestor simulation theory". To summarize, mankind will advance technologically until we are capable of producing computer simulations of our history with individual autonomous programs thinking they are people and acting accordingly within the simulation. These will be used to test hypotheses and examine how our societies and cultures developed for historical research. The only assumption is that we will develop the computers capable of this at some stage in the future, even if its hundreds of years from now. If we believe this we must accept we are probably not real people. We will produce not one, but many of these simulations and given that there is only one real universe and many simulations the chances of any one person being real, rather than simulated are small. Add the possibility that the “people” in the simulation could develop their own simulations and the odds of being a real person drop even further. You and I are most probably a computer generated simulation of a computer generated simulation of a computer generated simulation of a real person who died thousands of years ago. Cool huh!

It has been proven by scientific experiments headed by Deepak Chopra that your state of mind effects 100% of all the cells within your body. It is not a "PLACEBO EFFECT" simply quantum physical fact.

The title claims that you actually provide facts, but you not. Don't make lists if you aren't prepared to do the work to prove your claims.
