Go easy on me guys, I know how much room there is for flaming on a statement like this...
The Universe created us so that we can see what the Universe has created, as there is no reason to create something, if there isn't anything around to see it.
I'm not saying that I beleive this, it just came to me as I read the last few words of a book on Astromony, it was a very surreal moment actually.
