   The mind may have "invented" quantum theory", but if it is real and   
   correctly describes processes in the physical universe, it does   
   not feel to me that we (humans, and more specifically the human   
   minds) "created" the universe that is described by those concepts.   
      
   But my head hurts thinking about these things.
