Then you should worship the ape, or the ameboa, as your God, for it is their line which created you. But that would be silly, wouldn't it. We humans are not making the universe run behind the scenes. We are just part of it. A tiny tiny part and we are just trying to get by. Not suprising we pray to every god we can imagine.
