I agree, but hear me out. We aren't sitting on a shelf for a project some alien kid with even remotely comparable ability to human kind got a C- on. We are sitting on the shelf of a kid who is essentially a god and we are the C- that deserved better but it technically didn't fit the rules for the project. See, humans are our alien's flawed attempt to recreate something similar to itself. The creator of our universe made mistakes. He made humans too good at adapting the environment and too short sided to see what our actions would cause throughout the existence of the human race. His assignment was to create a contained galaxy which would evolve life. He went well beyond the intended scope of the project. He would stay up all year sometimes. He poured centuries of love and dedication into his project. He built a whole universe, and shaped creatures who were capable to wonder at its vastness. And he tinkered. He tweaked our genetic codes here and there as we evolved. He wanted ...
...for his creations to have wonder at the world he had made for them. He wanted them to be complex. To think and feel in a way he could relate to.
And he failed. He completely missed the mark on what be wanted to create. Humans can wonder at their universe but they will never become the creatures he could relate to emotionally. Humans were too simple.
More importantly for his grades sake, he didn't follow the assignment. Make 1 galaxy in which the conditions are correct. Allow life to evolve. Walk away with a decent grade. He wanted more. He wanted to create something meaningful. He wasted huge amounts of energy and matter that didn't need to be used on this project. He got a C-.
If you don't understand how incredible life, consciousness, and the universe are you need to do some serious learning
