Was "God" a traveler from the future?
I was just participating in another thread and an idea popped into my head. What if God was really a prankster from the future? What if humans developed without religion and eventually reached the point where time travel was invented? They would, of course, have rules about interfering with the past, but all it takes is one person breaking those rules - one person who thinks "if I go back in time and create a moral code, humanity will surely develop more peacefully and quickly than it already has!" Of course, another person might get their hands on the technology and think, "wouldn't it be funny if I told cavemen some stories about the earth being created in 7 days?!" Maybe Jesus was another time traveler, attempting to ease humanity back on the right path only to have even his message screwed up by people too strongly attached to the old ways.
Could it be that that is how humanity has ultimately destroyed itself? Could it be that humanity's advancement - the creation of time travel technology - ultimately set its own development back by thousands of years or more?!
Note: I seriously don't believe this whatsoever, but what the hell, I figured it might be an interesting discussion!
