I was thinking about a pretty obvious question during recent arguments about creation and evolution, specifically: "Why?" Why would a deity need to create a universe in the first place?
So of course, I asked Google (about as omniscient a thing as I am aware of). And I came across this:
Why Did God Create the World?
It turns out the entirety of creation, everything, seems to be because God felt himself to be so incredibly wonderful that he "created the world for his glory!" Or in other words, "God created us to know him and love him and show him."
Is that all there is, we're here only because God's on an Ego Trip? Is that what religious thinkers believe?
