Who created who?

THE CYLONS WERE CREATED BY MAN
THEY EVOLVED
THEY REBELLED
THERE ARE MANY COPIES
AND THEY HAVE A PLAN

There are many things you don’t know in this universe. We usually call the things we don’t know "it", but when you find out When "it" has the consciousness of thinking, we usually turn "it" into "he" and call "them" as "them."

Their existence does not necessarily have to be based on carbohydrates, nor does it have to have a human form. Wisdom is the reason why humans classify them with themselves.

But because human beings always have one or another boring self-esteem or arrogance, they are always reluctant to admit that there may be more advanced intelligent life than them, even if they are looking for it on the surface, and they are constantly launching into space. I keep guessing what they look like while watching the radio waves, but I have to say that if something like this really stands in front of them one day, they will definitely tremble all over, not because of excitement, but because of fear in all likelihood. trembling.
So when humans discover that they have created something smarter than them, they will not be happy, only afraid. For example, Cyber ​​Life in "the Matrix", for example, another form of Cyber ​​Life in "Battlestar Galactica" (hereinafter referred to as BSG).

I made the term Cyber ​​Life myself, and I don’t know if anyone else has used it. Human beings are not gods. The life created by human beings is just a virtual life even if consciousness is produced. Whether he is flying freely in the endless network or is installed under an iron armor like a medieval knight's costume. , Still, in a carbohydrate shell.
In fact, the subject of BSG resembles Shirou Masamune’s masterpiece "Ghost in the Shell" (hereinafter referred to as “Ghost in the Shell”) to some extent. Both stories put the background in the future, near future or far away. In the future (or at all, it is an overhead world that is detached from the real world), the same will discuss the doubts about the soul (Ghost), the difference is that BSG's worldview is more magnificent, in addition to the philosophical discussion in the shell, Also mixed with many religious ideas. Some people may say that participating in the discussion of religion in a SF drama makes it look like a metaphysical drama, but we should understand that existence is a kind of religion. This is very obvious. When humans were still monkeys, there might be some obscure religions. At that time, people did not have scientific concepts.


In BSG, the lives created by humans are called Cylon (similar to the term Cyber). They become smarter, or evolved, and they become them. But they were not recognized by humans, so the war between humans and Cylon broke out.

If Darwin’s theory of evolution is established, all wars are an old destruction and a new birth of the victor. Wars may destroy a lot of things, but they also create more things, more than we think, such as Say we make such an absurd conjecture, knowing that a peak of species will suddenly appear in the stratum, such as the Cambrian Biological Explosion in Chengjiang; do you believe there is a "god"? The reason why I put the gods in quotation marks is because the god I am referring to is a supernatural being. Maybe there was a war between the two races about the creation of this world before the biological explosion. War, and then one side wins the war, and the winning side creates the life form they think should appear in the next stage according to their wishes; every two biological explosions are full of protracted wars.

So here I have extended a purpose of why Cylon they exist. Maybe they are cleaning the remaining work of the previous stage for the prosperity of the next stage of life. Religions are indeed invincible. They become religions when you can’t explain certain things, such as people in BSG and Cylon. Religions are sacred to them, and even related to presidential elections. , The question of the survival of human beings, for Cylon, is like the last sentence of the beginning of each episode, "THEY HAVE A PLAN", they think they are carrying out a divine plan.

What is under the mysterious veil of God? For Cylon, shouldn't God be the one who created them? For them, shouldn't God be human?
Relatively speaking, humans seem to have never questioned why they exist, and what is their god?

Regarding the setting in BSG’s worldview, humans originated in a place called Kobol, and split into cells with various functions like embryos in the microscopic world. Humans were divided into thirteen clans and left Kobol to establish thirteen colonies. The original Kobol can no longer be found, just like all the cells in our body cannot be reverted to embryonic state. It is not possible to revert to the state of embryos. Nevertheless, people can create the next generation and create new embryos. In BSG, the embryo created by humans is Cylon.

What did BSG's worldview make me think of! ? A very interesting legend about vampires: Cain was the first vampire in the world, Cain created the first generation of vampires, thirteen clans, and thirteen clans continue to create more descendants of them; if that ten The first generation of vampires of the three clans represented the humans of the thirteen clans, so Cain was the god of humans. Then Adam and Eve are the gods of gods, and then, on which level of gods are Adam and Eve created?

In BSG, the basis of human existence is actually very fragile, mainly because they can't find the basis for doubting their existence, but Cylon has found it, and Yingying has discovered another god by agreement.

I will make an assumption below.


Know one of the simplest Eastern philosophy, "One life is two, two is three, three is ten thousand." Know the "Moebius ring", go around one point of this ring, and return to the original point. Let us briefly explain. Let us assume that there are only three gods in this world: God A, God B, and God C.

In one case, three gods will not exist at the same time. God A created God B, God B created God C, God C created God A...and then it loops endlessly on this Moebius ring, They may have created many other things between their creations, but those things have disappeared over time. Gods mutually prove their respective existences, and humans are just incidental items.

In the second case: God A = God B = God C. They exist in different time and space. They create many, many things. They will perish. They need to appear in the thousands of lives they created. A kind of life that can regenerate them, let them take the original life of the creator god. The creation of the world belongs to the gods, and the creation of the gods belongs to the people.

In BSG, in the first case, humans may be gods, and Cylon may also be gods, because in the first case, there is a fact that gods cannot exist at the same time, and the intermediate state of their simultaneous existence only shows the replacement of gods. , One side (and the old one) must perish, or maybe the two gods appearing at the same time is just a procedural calculation error, indicating that neither of them should exist. At this stage, the third god should appear; for example, Cylon and humans. Mixed blood may be the third god.

In the second case, regardless of whether it is Cylon or human, although they are still under the plan of creating gods (PLAN)-Cylon and human beings in the first case, they are not gods themselves.


Creation and being created sometimes become less important in a time cycle, and whoever created it does not matter. It may be that he created you in this cycle, and it may be you who created him in the next cycle. Most of the time, all people do is wait. above. (Text/len calvin)
