If you think in terms of yourself, importance can be attached to life. What of the grand scheme of nature?

Question

If you think in terms of yourself, great importance can be attached to life. You can live purposefully and happily.

If you think in terms of a materialistic universe, nothing matters, life is meaningless, you cannot justify purpose. This is not rocket science logic. The conclusion is inexorable, and in my opinion, is killing our civilization.

If you think in terms of a created universe, then everything matters, for a creator creates for a reason. Without thinking in terms of Christians, Jews, Mulims, or any other relgion, philosophy needs this basic principle.

I exist.
My existence is impossible without a creator.

Answer 1

Ok I see your point. But in honesty, I see the fact of whether or not the universe has a purpose as trivial. In a purely materialistic way of thinking, I see that mine and everyone elses life, and everything else on the planet, is individually a near one in infinity miracle. It is far far far from meaningless. Purpose is to make the most of the miracle, for the individual, everyone else, and everything else on the plant.

Answer 2

This is really too brain dead to respond to, but I will anyway.

If existence requires a creator, then either your creator doesn't exist or else it was created by a creator.

Either you end up with infinite regression or you conclude existence does not require a creator. I prefer the latter.

Answer 3

"I exist. My existence is impossible without a creator." is a great example of a fallacy.
