The universe is an amazing and mysterious place. This is the story of the universe.
The universe started in the big bang (I didnt mean it that way). It was born in one big sudden explosion of heat and atoms, but what no one knew is that the universe is a conscious being, where its mind is time and space itself. The universe spent billions upon billions of years cooling down and getting older, but as it matured it found out how lonely and empty it is. It was growing bored of knowing everything, so the universe created a new being, nature, the nurturer of life and evolution.
Nature kept the universe company but then as the universe got older planets and stars started to form, so nature thought to itself, "Maybe I can settle on a couple of planets and begin new life. And that is what she did. Nature settled upon many planets including ours, Earth.
She set the conditions perfectly, for life and when it formed, she helped it adapt to the new environment of the planet we now called Earth. As life got more and more complicated, nature decided to focus on one species of the animals. The most intelligent at the time. She nurtured us and so that species adapted creating the most complicating of any being she has yet created, the humans.
The human species was so intelligent, that when they grow and learn the secrets of the universe, they could change the environment and stop their evolution. They are the only being made by nature that have the ability to nurture themselves, as they have become self-conscious, the same as nature and the universe.
Humans had become so intelligent, that they could also change and evolve different animals, like the species they created that they have named dogs. But humans have a need of knowledge and want to know all yet can't. They have a violent nature, which cause wars among wars, for more materials to sustain a population or for power over an area of the planet.They have become the self-reliant and god like in their power of intelligence.
The universe found an interest in the humans, so it controlled their history and named itself god or gods. In religions with many gods, each god was a quality of the universe and in religions with one god, it is the universe.
The universe is beautiful and infinitely growing, but everything must have an end. The big crunch is where the universe ends, including everything within it. The universe loves humans, it finds the stories of their lives infinitely amusing and amazing. It loves the entertaining stories they make and for that, every good person gets a place besides the universe when death meets. The place gives them knowledge of all and makes them able to watch all, but not control it. This place besides the universe is known as heaven, by the mortal and fragile people of earth. But what happens to the bad when dead, the universe fails to acknowledge them, so they get erased out of existence, which by mortal humans is known as hell.
But nature did not only settle on one planet, but many. Earth was just the first to develop intelligent life, but they are not the most intelligent, yet they are the favorite of the universe.
Why is humanity the universes favorite form of life? That is because humans have the ability to feel, to love and hate. Humans have curiosity and boredom, therefor entertainment was made. Humans are not the most intelligent, but they are the most emotional. Every other intelligent species just wants to survive and grow stronger, so then no threat would defeat them, but humans go slower on growing yet faster on love and having fun. Humans know what an amazing miracle it is to live, to even exist so they enjoy it, when everything else tries to survive without enjoyment and entertainment in their lives, just work.
Every other intelligent species is either a queen controlling mindless drones, or a whole species with one goal, when humans have their own goals and lives separate from anyone else. Humans mate for fun and for children if they want, when every other species in the universe only to survive the difficulties of life.
Humans managed to make life simpler and worth living, they reason like gods even though they have pain. Humanity is the strongest species to exist and because of its will to live, humanity will always survive no matter what, they might even survive the big crunch when it arrives but till then humans are the real gods. They reason like gods, yet have lives filled with pain, death and despair. Humans make both nature and the universe proud.
One of the many stories the universe loves is the story of soul mates in Greek mythology. The story goes:
Humans where built from clay by a titan named Prometheus. He created them with 4 legs, 4 arms and 2 heads. Prometheus really wanted to give fire to the humans he created as he loved them, but Zeus didnt want him to, he was scared they would exceed the power of the gods. But Prometheus gave them fire anyways so Zeus attached him so a mountain. Everyday an eagle would fly over and eat his intestines till they would regrow the next day. After that the humans kept growing in power and strength. Zeus saw how powerful the humans where and out of fear he split them in half, giving humans 2 legs, 2 arms and 1 head. After that day one half would search for the other as their soul had been split in half and was always searching for its other half.
That thought the universe of something called love which it had never felt but, eventually it had felt love, but it was not for one person, instead it was a whole species, which is humanity. Humanity was the most confusing and crazy thing inside the universe and for that craziness of a human, of feelings had created love from the universe to humanity.
