| Re: Why a God?
There is no god in the sense of a supreme consciousness. Our brains evolved in recognition of observable patterns which brought us intelligence. Awareness of inevitable death was an unfortunate by-product of this acquired intelligence. Death completes the circle of life. The circle of life brings a definite beginning and end. This thinking in terms of beginning and end has led us to the big bang and a supreme being.
In reality, all there is or might be, is energy (matter) in a reasonless dance towards greater order opposing the increase in entropy. This dance is being performed within phases of an infinite reality.
No purpose, no existential good nor evil, no religion and no god.
