Interstellar, Contact and the wormholes

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstellar_(film)#Plot
The wormhole is an integral component in both movies.

Both movies depict encounters with a much higher form of intelligence.

Contact with intelligent beings that have existed for millions of years might seem godlike to contemporary humans.

Other intelligent spices out there could be the equivalent of billions of years & might not be limited to existing within a physical form. A cosmic creator might have created various kinds of intelligent lifeforms, with humans just being of one particular template.
The earth human form might just be one particular living image-of-God. Other worlds could host a wide variety of intelligent lifeforms that are a product of the creator.

The universe is full of data patterns that according to some, aren't necessarily from a process of intelligent design. Yet, hints of intelligent design are all around. The universe & its components are indicative of something like a cosmic program.

Richard Dawkins challenges people to not be locked into various dogmatic beliefs.

My conclusion is that the universe is some kind of cosmic intelligence & nature is merely one of its programs. It could still be part of an even larger creation process.
