Wondering and Conspiring

So, I've been wondering a lot lately. Well, that's not new. A lot of us do. But when the result of that wondering is a wonder in itself, the excitement takes its toll.

There's a chapter about genetics in Biology, and I was studying about the DNA and the gene part, which is amazingly interesting. So each segment of the DNA which gives us a characteristic is called a gene. There's CODES on a gene which dictate our reactions to situations. 

Codes. Codes? The word struck a chord. Codes. Coding. Programming.

And then, the stunning revelation.

I started to wonder how these codes must be created or written. Binary? Or any language? Elemental language? Anyways, I began wondering who wrote, or decided, them. And thanks to Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy, a thought crossed my mind, grasping hold of it.

Imagine, we are robots. Robots with commands programmed inside us (in the DNA) by any other intelligent life form in the universe. Robots. ROBOTS.

Our life is controlled by the intelligent life form. We are an experiment. It's all in our DNA. Fascinating. 

And there comes a plot for a sci-fi.

Leaving out all the science fiction, reality sets in. What language is this code REALLY in? Who decides it? Nature? Nature's robots, all of us? Or is it all decided by the cells inside us? If that is the case, we are being governed by a power inside of us.

There are endless arguments. Endless possibilities. Endless conspiracy theories. What's yours?
