Ok I was having a conversation with my partner and I think i almost became religious..so here is what happened.
Strangely we were talking about moths and butterflies and what was the point in a caterpillar morphing into a butterfly, what purpose was served for the caterpillar by doing this?
Then I asked "come to think of it what is our (humans) purpose for exisiting". To procreate? Well its what we do as a race to survive, yes, but to exist? Whats the point in that? We exist just to make more of us? That answer does not cut it.
And then, more to the point, what came first, a baby or an adult (if you discount adam and eve). It cant have been a baby because how would it feed itself and survive?
Maybe an adult came first, in which case someone would of had to put us here! maybe it was god !! But then, who put him there ! Thats not feasible either.
Maybe we were a natural thing..but we still must have started as a baby. No ?
So how did we come to be and whats the point of our being?
