The Great Programmer Hypothesis

A popular theory among supposedly non-religious people is that Realitie was created by a "Great Programmer", perhaps of an alien race, who designed everything from the top down.

There is some evidence in favor of this - matter and energy have been shown to be made of discrete units, life and intelligence has developed against what some consider improbable odds.

Some criticize the theory as being untestable and unscientific. Religious minds have had differing views on it, some seeing it as a way science has found God (and sometimes Sam), while others see it as blasphemy.
