Two intact, stray dogs roam the streets. They have no predetermined destination; they're just following their instincts. If we "intend" their meeting, visualise the pups they'd produce, and set up a chord in the universe that causes them to find each other and CREATE those pups...have we "created" pups the way various gods allegedly created US?
What if the species were in our image...or we, in theirs?
Are the puppies then obligated to do as we wish?
If they don't, do we get angry?
Do we visit punishment upon them?
Did the old gods feel the same way?
