JemIsExcitement,
An intresing metaphor. I would go further though. I would say that sooner or later we can become God. We would grow as a race until we conquered planets, solar sytems, galaxies. Eventaully we would attain higher and higher levels of consciousness though tampering with out minds. Perhaps we would even die out and be replaced without our own creations. In the end, these beings will attain omniscience and omnipotence and unite the cosomos as one conscious entity. Thus the universe itself gives birth to a God.
Now these thoughs are always fun to ponder; something to occupy your mind with.

We are on a communicaton network rightnow.
If you were to be seperated from the universe you would die. You can seperate yourself from a part of it. Much like you can remove a brain cell from you head and keep it alive. Technically it's no differnt in a lab then when it was in your brain but it's nolonger part of the cognitive process inside your head.
