Try to figure out how that creator began and be mind fricked for life

Everything in the "universe" of which we are aware is actually the contents of a snow globe paperweight on God's desk.

And all proof we existed as a species will disappear in one of these ways.
Near- to medium-term (next ~1 billion years,)
Extremely large planetary collision — Mars-/Mercury-sized rogue planet or massive protoplanet impact ? melts/vaporizes crust, sterilizes planet
Very close gamma-ray burst (GRB) from merging neutron stars/black holes — direct beam within ~100–6,000 light-years ? strips ozone + massive radiation ? boils oceans in extreme cases
Extremely nearby supernova — within ~30–50 light-years ? massive radiation + heat ? destroys ozone, sterilizes surface + deep ocean in strongest cases
Massive supervolcano swarm + climate feedbacks — extreme prolonged volcanic winter + anoxic oceans ? total biosphere collapse (very unlikely to kill everything)
Giant asteroid/comet shower (e.g., triggered by stellar flyby) — multiple Chicxulub-scale+ impacts ? global firestorms, impact winter, ocean boiling in extreme scenarios
Very long-term (inevitable unless life escapes elsewhere)~0.8–1.3 billion years —
Solar brightening ? CO2 starvation + extreme heat ? multicellular life dies, then eukaryotes, finally most prokaryotes
~1.5–2.8 billion years —
Continued solar heating ? last microbes die in shrinking refugia (high-latitude ponds, deep caverns, atmosphere)
Sun enters red giant phase ? Earth engulfed/swallowed or roasted to molten rock ? total sterilization
Sun becomes white dwarf ? Earth (if surviving) becomes frozen rogue cinder in permanent darkness
Reformation of a supercontinent (often called Pangaea Ultima or Pangaea Proxima) around 250 million years from now will likely destroy most complex life—especially mammals—by creating extreme global heat and aridity from increased volcanic CO2 emissions, a brighter aging Sun, vast inland deserts far from oceans, and temperatures exceeding 40–70°C across most of the landmass, rendering over 90% of Earth's surface uninhabitable and triggering a mass extinction event for land-dwelling species.
Of course there are billion other ways of which we have not even the ability to understand.

The moon, the cosmos, and by extension this thread, are just distractions from the Epstein Files.

The rest is, so we say, history.

Bro, the sun is about 400x bigger than the moon, and is approx 400x further away from the earth than the moon is. This makes both of them appear to be the same size in our sky - and allows for near perfect solar eclipses.
The odds of this happening anywhere in the universe are astronomical.
Another fun bit: Australia (2,500 mi) is wider than the moon's diameter (2,159 mi)
Enjoy your pots.

Well there is a some chance we or some version of us becomes interplanetary before the light is extinguished.

My two favorite cosmic scale mind-blowers
If you shrank the scale of the local universe down to where the distance from the Earth to the Sun was 1 centimeter, the nearest star would still be 453 miles away.
If you wanted to fly around the Sun in a regular passenger airliner, you would be on that plane for a year.

Millions of years old from our perspective. From the perspective of the light photon, no time had elapsed. It is born, travels, and dies all in the same instant no matter the distance. Their clock never moves.

I mean, technically, we could all do that now from our own homes.
