Games like the Sims are called God Games for a reason.
You create the people, you control what they do, you kill them or let them live, etc.. all the things that God does. So this brings me to this theory.
We as the population of Earth are just a big version of The Sims. There is some entity out there that is "playing" us like you and I play the Sims. Think about it, it makes perfect sense. In the Sims you start out with the original game, and as time goes by newer technology/items get added to the game. On Earth Humans started out with almost nothing, and now look at were we are and all we have. Next you look at one of the settings of the Sims. Free Will, you can set it so your Sims have none and they do only what you tell them, or you can set it to where they have 100% and they do whatever they want and don't listen to you at all, or you can have it set anywhere in between. The real life equivalent to that would be the following. No Free will equals the bible beating religious nuts, 100% free will equals people like me who come up with ideas like this, and the other settings determine which side of those two you are closer to. The people closer to the no free will setting would look at this idea as crazy while the people closer to 100% free will will look at this idea as plausible and probably have their own theory's on how humans/religion got to where it is today. Now the next thing is the most important part of this idea, and the part that sparked it in my mind. Your Sims can play The Sims. Why is that a big thing you ask, well I'll tell you. If your Sims can play the Sims, then that means they are essentially controlling something that is based off of them but they don't know it. In a way they like us when we play The Sims are playing "God".
Now for those that are too lazy to read all of that, or to those that got confused here is a simpler version.
A greater power(s) is controlling us like we control The Sims. The major advancements in human life can be equated to "Expansion packs", and the minor advancements can be equated to people with some programming knowledge.
Now is that what can be considered a Crazy idea? Yes, but at the same time it is an idea that is just as plausible as the idea of a flat earth, or one single "God".
