WHY - A LOGICAL EXPLANATION OF LIFE
It‟s been theorized that the universe could have been designed by some form of intelligence. There‟s no conclusive evidence to back this theory up, but it‟s not entirely without precedent. After all, we ourselves are intelligent beings who arose from inanimate matter. And in a universe where you can‟t get something from nothing it would explain where our intelligence came from. Granted, that still leaves the issue of where the creator came from, which is no small question. Maybe the creator existed forever. Of course, if He did then maybe the universe existed forever as well, but if that were the case then the universe wouldn‟t have needed a creator to create it since it was always there.
You can see where speculating about a creator will get you. So we won‟t get any further into that for now other than to point out one implication that arises from the existence of a creator. If there was logical intent behind your creation then your life has an extra source of value. You‟re valuable to the one who went through 14.7 billion years of deliberate, calculated work creating you.
Regardless of whether or not your parents were the only intelligent beings responsible for bringing you to life there still aren‟t words to fully describe how cosmically epic in scale your existence is. And yet for all the work and purpose that went into bringing you here you‟ll only have a handful of decades to be a witness to your self and all of creation. In a universe where time appears to be infinite you‟ll take a finite number of breaths. You‟ll speak a finite number of words. You‟ll see a finite number of blades of grass. You‟ll meet a finite number of people. Every moment of your life that ticks by was the only chance in all of eternity for you to experience that moment. That makes every moment of your life (no matter how mundane it may seem) infinitely rare and thus infinitely valuable. That makes every moment of your life the best moment of your life.
