God is not imaginary. The ability of a mortal to understand God may be
lacking, but there is still a higher power or creationary power. Humans did
not evolve from a muck oozing out of a sea. That would take about a
thousand billion years even if it were possible. A dog has a reproductive
cycle of about a year and we have been breeding dogs for at least five
thousand years and a dog today is no smarter than a dog five thousand years
ago. A logical person with no agenda can make as cogent an argument against
evolution as an agnostict can make against the concept of God. There are
sorts of turtles and sharks and crocs that the scientists tell us are
identical to those of hundreds of thousands of years ago. So where is the
evolution?
My feeling is that humans are the sole species with an intellect so that we
can ponder, or worship if we choose, the existence of a power or entity much
greater than gravity or chemistry or biology. Or a person can even deny the
existence of any sort of higher power.
If you were to eliminate everything you know and believe and just start your
thought process with a blank slate there is no need for life of any sort.
There could perfectly well be a universe, or a couple of universes, or many
universes that are active and are created and collapse and so on with no
form of life as we know it. It would all be heat and light and gravity and
energy.
I say again, the reason that even a dumb person (me) has ten thousand times
the intellect of the brightest chimp is so that I have just enough intellect
to appreciate having been created by some entity beyond my understanding.
