How Absurd? - Continued

   "Professor Deus?" Cried out a colleague of his. "Can I ask you a few questions about your Universe you have created?"
   Professor Deus eyes his fellow Professor and politely says, "I have created multidimensional universes."
   "Oh, I am sorry. I thought you created only one Universe." Says Leana. A Professor, in the field, of creating energy. "A colleague of ours, now that I think of it, might have mentioned this to me, but I can't be sure."
   "Well, whom ever you have spoken to, is only telling you what the rumor mill has generated." Deus said with disdain. "I have not given one lecture on the subject to date."
   "I am sorry professor. I meant no disrespect." Said a convincing Leana. "I am really curious why you decided to form a world where the enlighten inhabitants worship you?"
   "I didn't set out to do so." Replied Professor Deus. Convinced that his colleague was really interested in his work. "I tried different indigenous lifeforms, to create a self aware populace on this planet. But, every creature I used, had such a ingrained instinct for self preservation, that they would easily give up offspring and their mates to predators. Or, they would eat them themselves. When I came upon mammals, and a particular group I like to refer to as Mankind, as it turns out, they showed the most potential as creatures, in creating a thriving developing civilization. Yet, they too gave up their kind to outside forces for self preservation. They never tried to protect each other as a group. As a community. I had to come up with a solution were the preservation of the whole, along with their mates and offspring, became more important to them then self preservation."
   "So, you came up with the idea of this Mankind worshiping you?" Asked a slightly confused Leana.
   "Not exactly." Says Deus. "Actually, I am not sure how they came to know I was the one manipulating things. What I wanted was, were giving up ones life, for the greater good, was more important then self preservation."
   "I still don't see the connection?" Says a a slightly more confused Leana.
   "What if these lifeforms called Mankind, believed there was an afterlife if they died?" A smiling Deus says. "What if, they believed, that they could come here, into Heaven, and live a new life as an Angel? They would think, that their lives, would continue after their death on the planet!"
   Deus pauses for a second, then says, "I call it Religion."
   "Ingenious." Replies a grinning Leana. "I heard they are thriving and waging war over who is right about which of these Religions is the correct one."
   "Yes indeed." Is all Deus says.
   "How absurd." Replies Leana.
