I don't see an ultimate authority, only the jostling of atoms in a quantum dance resulting in such absurdities as human beings๐
If there was some kind of authority it vanished eons ago. I think we are left on island Earth to live or die as we will.
The universe may not even be all there is so the big picture is way bigger than humans can suss out at least in this stage of our development.
If we develop in the next 500 years like we developed in the past 500 years and avoid all the pitfalls of extinction possibilities WE may become the authority.
We have always aimed for godhood, so maybe we will be gods, at least so far advanced as to seem like gods to the likes of us.
Admit it. If some REALLY advanced being came down to Earth, healing the sick and such and claiming to be Jesus incarnate, but this being is just very advanced but no god, how would you tell the difference? Smiting your enemies, setting up shop as the Christian Authority, stopping Muslims in their tracks, how would you know not to worship this being as a god?
