Why We Are Alive

[ukanonymous]

I would be interested for people to post their reason about why we experience existence. The way I see it because of all the mathematical models around the world it is not random. Most people say in an infinite world anything is possible. Yet if that's the case then we would all be gods inventing and experiencing everything we imagine.

I rather like the way Einstein answered that very question when it was put to him in 1951.

The boffins say the universe started with the Big Bang.But what the heck was there before the Big Bang?and what was the catalyst for the Big Bang?

God - just to save our resident Christians a little time.

Once upon a time there was nothing which exploded.

Half the answers to the question are stored in a huge purple crypt at the intersection of Interstates 380 and 295. The other 52% are stored in the freezer section of Mork and Mindy's Piggly Mart in Foggy Bottom, Washington D.C....That is in case you're really interested.

But who created God,Andy?Did she have a creator also?

[ynnafymmi]

Its very strange when you start to really deep think about it.Has the universe always been here?and if God invented it ,who created God and who created the God creator.My head is starting to hurt now.

"Dear God don't know if you noticed,
but your name is on a lot of quotes in this book, and us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look.
All the people that you made in your image
still believing that junk is true.
Well, I know it ain't, and so do you."

- Andy Partridge, "Dear God".

That could be a picture of UKA. He'll be mortified.

[Mamyalynne]

UKA changed her avatar as a favour to another poster who was perturbed by her last one.

Not a great step forward in my eyes , but that's just personal taste.

Chucky was my 1st eva love but unfortunately was not my last.

Do you think you might be over-thinking this?

[ukanonymous]

I guess I am but I dont see the point in worrying about anything unless you know the meaning of why we are alive. I used to think I was the great all seeing consciousness and I somehow transitioned myself into something mortal to give existence meaning. Obvioulsy with restrictions to awareness and understanding. Similar how we today program AI. I am not rejecting this thought as no one knows but I certainly think other possibilities are likely.
