The origin of life

Where did humans come from?  Created by god is one persistent answer to this question believed to be postulated in different forms by multiple races and cultures since the beginning of humanity.

More recent records propose a let omnipotent solution, that of black holes and natural evolution.  That is not a grand design but rather a happenstance occurrence.

Missing Motive

Whether you accept the creationist or evolutionist answer to explain the mystery of life, or even both in some combination, these solutions lack a definitive conclusion of the most important element of any mystery.  That is motive.

The reason for the existence of the universe remains hidden to me, although we can, and do, rationalize how the universe began the story is supported only by speculation as to motive.

Love is the Answer

One of my favourite underlying explanations as to the motive for building a universe is from the oft expressed creationist view that god was motivated by his love.

Being all alone is tough so god created the universe to allow for development of a range of strong and positive emotional and mental states, from the most sublime virtue or good habit, the deepest interpersonal affection, to the simplest pleasure.

Love without Hate

Love cannot exist without hate and if love was the motivation for creation unfortunately time has shown it cannot, and does not, exist without hate.

I question whether an omnipotent being  would not have know this and so purposely was driven to create something complex to stave off the boredom and loneliness of just being without anything constructive and defined ((i.e., an universe).

The search for Answers continues

Or perhaps the answer lies in the accident of evolution.  The mental pursuit of motivation continues until the story ends and perhaps even then we will not have a satisfying answer.
