Have you considered the possibility that an intelligent alien species created life on Earth? Or at least sent it here on a probe? It's as likely as any other explanation, IMO.
If true, it begs the question.... where did they come from?
There exists a lot of different reading material on the subject, and many of them are somewhat similar. One of the most well known, as far as I know, is the work by Zecharia Sitchin, where he apparently translated some really old stone tablets speaking of deities of the ancient Sumeria. He translated the deities as the "Annunaki". The translations is worth reading imho, "The lost book of Enki" ISBN 9781879181830.
No, I do not say that this is the truth, but it's a fairly fascinating story nonetheless.
Lol you think just like I do. That's an unending question too. Just like with anything about our existence. Whatever created us had to have been created. And whatever created that had to be created too. If the big bang is real, what created that?
Exactly, which is why I think it's pointless to divide over it. If there is indeed a divine entity and afterlife to accompany it, we will find out when we die, if not, we won't care since we will no longer have a conscience.
