I wonder if the summation of the collective consciousness of the ants of the colony creates a new unique consciousness that guides the whole, like each ant has their own unique frequency of consciousness and the "ant god" is summation of all these frequencies into a new unique frequency. So "god" doesn't create us, but is rather a byproduct of our collective consciousness. Then again, ants are also the byproduct of hundreds of millions of years of evolution and I may just be trying to attach a larger value to what is simply a highly refined biological process.

Still, that is kinda fun to think about.
