A few genetically modified plants that produce 2x the oxygen as the carbon Dioxide it intakes to sustain a biome in which the vessels inhabitants could breath indefinitely with genetically modified plants that produce food faster than the inhabitants could eat combined with a way of recycling water/urine(totally out of my comfort zone on this one) to remain hydrated. Within a monstrous amount of time, without the passengers killing themselves before the destination, we could colonize a planet in another "goldilocks" zone and set themselves up to have this same conversation about god and the creation of the universe in another billion years.

^ yup lol
Sounds like the BoB's ( <= born on board) from the game Marathon bitd*

Who are you to judge? What makes your theory better than his? Still waiting on some evidence either way.
I didn't present a theory. I presented a fact. There is always a force behind the beginning of our universe. Every theory has one. That's a fact.

so what you're saying is that vastly superior, infinitely more advanced lifeforms could give rise to life in their image on a new planet?

and you're using that to prove what point, exactly?

Wrong. It's the lack of religion.

There was no point, stop looking for a fight. At the very most its a fabricated theory that could be possible with no scientific study or evidence to back it up...

There is no such thing as a lack of religion. We were made with a strong urge to worship something higher than ourselves. It may not be religion in the strictest sense of the word. But its definitely belief system that is religious in nature. Try holding a different view than your atheist college professor, even if you are also atheist, and you will be treated just like you would in a religious setting. Absence of religion is impossible for humans. Not going to happen.

not looking for a fight, just showing you how your own hypothetical is basically an affirmation of the foundations of religion that many atheists find so ridiculous

My guess is that you have never been in the presence of a college professor, or you wouldn't say something so stupid. I have never once felt like I was in a religious setting and I've had a great many different views than my professors.
