The "Why" thread

What do we create for no reason?

I was actually having a joke, but this is my kind of thread.

So, that's a response to "why are we here?". But is say production isn't a necessary part of the why. It's a factor humans, but it's not intrinsic to our being.
There is a strange human fear and/or arrogance that leads us to think we have some kind of higher purpose. Why does anything have a higher purpose? Maybe it just exists and develops at a microbiological level.
Maybe there isn't a "why", but there is just an "is" (as in the human "is in existence"). I don't see anything to suggest our evolution into Homosapiens has any specific meaning.
Yiu could argue that all parts of the world exists to allow all parts of the world to exist - however that seems to fall short when you see species adapt when another species goes extinct.

(I'll exchange more when I not knackered. Spent 4 hours playing netball against top level people twenty years younger than me this morning, in the blazing heat - I'm a wreck!)

Yes Science says agnosticism is the only answer.

My view is there is some design. And it makes me wonder about a creator. I don't know anything of course. Or think anyone else should agree with me.

Why would there be a creator?
I can understand the creation of a character called creator thousands of years ago because h-s's need to tell stories and because as the brain was developing there needed to be answers to explain events.
But it's an oddly arrogant thing to think there is a creator that made h-s's in "his" image.
If there is - why don't dolphins believe in GHod?

It isn't that. I think the design and genius of our sentience is too incredible to be by chance. So I think there's something divine about it. Now the concept of divinity is man made and intangible too. But that's the whole GHod is good and loves you stuff.

I'm just saying I can't deny there is a maker. However I've never seen any evidence that there is a caring creator.
