I'm tellin' you man, every third blink is slower

I had a weird thought yesterday. While brushing my teeth i realised just how tough a farmer's job must be. Not one of them arable farmers who get away with planting stuff all day. The ones who have to watch animals get born and grow up and stuff, and decide which animals die young, which die old and which become the mothers/fathers of the future animals. Then they have to decide on the food for these animals, have to watch them carefully for any signs of diseases and whatever else. Basically it must be a tough job, and one which i'd much rather not have.

I also came to the realisation again that there can't really be a godlike creator of us. I didn't come to this realisation while brushing though. People have said before that the human brain is more complex than a computer (i think they have anyway) but think about this, if some higher being had gone about creating us, wouldn't It have gone and given us some sort of alert system for when we don't know something? When you try to find a file on your computer, the program will come up with a "file not found" type of message, thereby laughing at you for even suggesting you had ever created it. When you try to recall a memory or fact, your brain just whirs along constantly about this thing, but never brings up a message saying "info not found" and that is why the brain couldn't have been created by any higher being. If it had then It would have had the common sense to include some alert system. By the way, the capitalised "i's" in the word "It" appear because this higher being could be any gender or could be genderless. Kinda like when people put "He" or "Him" to mean god. Oh and if the brain had been created by some higher being, then why can't we decide what to delete? This has been number 1 in a non-running series of reasons why computers are betterer than us.
