What is life about? How do you make sense of your existence? What is your best estimate / theory of what we are doing here and how all of this came to be?
Is this: (A) Christianity - God created the world and man rebelled? (B) Evolution - Happenstance? (C) Other alien races exist and are in a 10000 year battle; and we are in a living in Reptilian Soul Recycler? (D) Simulation - Some type of computer simulation running for purposes beyond our comprehension.... (E) ....
I'm really curious to hear of your best estimate / theory of how all of this came to be.
Carl Sagan in The Varieties of Scientific Experience: A Personal View of the Search for God, says, (paraphrased):
Our local star is orbitted by four large masses and some insignificant debris. We're on the third piece of debris, whose surface is covered by a patina, a thin vaneer, of life.
Do you share his view of things?
I mean, it's not overtly false. Reductionist, sure. If there's a kabbalistic layer between reality and what we experience, then there's no way to be certain of anything.
Of OP's list, B,C, and D are all equally insufficient to describe the whole, so it's likely a combination of those.
Universe made by God, species made by aliens, governance has been "AI" for at least a hundred years.
Without intelligent design, the 'particles' 'banging' would have demolished themselves, I think, as well as thinking only an Ultimate Creator makes the most sense and takes much less faith and trust than an accidental intelligence and complex life, but that's me, and you can quote me.
Kabbalah is lies and thievery.
Christ/christen - "to anoint" implies the lubrication preventing friction in-between "banging particles" within the dividing process of whole.
Few design intelligence (understanding) as an identifying mark for many to tempt them to turn against (anti) one another, which demolishes the lubrication (christ).
The trick of Christianity (or any other group) is about tempting each christ to join one another, hence becoming anti-christ.
Particles joining together implies mutual demolition. The "banging together" aka intercourse for off-spring implies the balance act for ones reacting choice in-between the need to set apart and the want to put together.
IN (inception) and OUT (death)...only in-between can being come to life.
