Could be worse. you could believe in what HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy said about us. The Earth is just a giant computer with living organisms in it's matrix to figure out the ultimate question that goes with the ultimate answer of 42. Subsequently this computer was bought by extra-dimensional beings that on our plane take on the form of mice. Later on in series, the main character, Arthur Dent, finds the God's last message to his creation which is "Sorry for the inconvenience."
