So, one afternoon, on a usual day of my unemployment, I was watching some lectures on machine learning on Udacity. (Pretty interesting stuff I tell you!) And then it strikes me. Like a Eureka moment! What if we are all self-learning machines?! What if our God (henceforth referred as 'Creator') made a few machines that were self sustaining and kept on learning and becoming more and more complex? Like a fully automated plant with machine learning, only much more complex and so well learnt, it kept on modifying itself! Imagine all the DNAs as datasets containing information about how the creature will take shape and throughout its lifecycle, it learnt from the environment and then passed the new codes to next generations!
So with this theory, I guess our creator was just a member or a bunch of members of a highly developed specie. And we are maybe just an experiment. Probably, with artificial intelligence and machine learning, we are doing the same, but on a very small scale.
And, maybe we are just at the beginning of our rise because if this is true, probably it is even possible to analyze the DNAs of millions, and recognize the pattern of evolution and maybe if we can fit a model, predict future of evolution and even synthesize the DNAs that would have naturally come into existence only a few million years later!
Fascinating right?
