I believe we were created by a divine being. The creator did this to conduct an experiment.
The experiment is about how we cooperate with each other... whether we destroy ourselves, or we unite as one.
What make me believe like this are:
1- Not everyone is born fair. There are those who are born rich, smart, and those who are born poor, and not as intellectually capable... or just mix. Some people get more opportunities in their lives while some are suffering like those from poor African nations. From my philosophical point of view, I believe we ought to help each other out. Those who are fortunate should help those who are not to try close the gap as much as possible.
I am agnostic, but I was raised in a Buddhist family. In Buddhism, there is this thing called Karma, and I believe in this system. In brief, the Karma system is basically cause and effect to equate everything out just like you have mathematical equations. Those who do bad things accumulate negative karma, and those who do good things get positive karma. There are 6 realms that human is born into. I don't want to explain all of them, but I am going to talk only about the human realm which is out of the 6. If you have high positive Karma that you had accumulated in your past life, you are likely to be born into a comfortable life style and the opposite happens to those who have to pay back in their next life even like being born into poverty after they had gone through the realm of hell (punishment). It's just like hell on Earth. Now, what if you are born into a poor life? Wouldn't it be more likely for you to commit more crimes and accumulate more negative karma and suffer again? That's what the experiment is about. Those who are fortunate should help rescue these people for them to redeem themselves. The creator will only observe and not interfere in our world at all. That's why i don't believe in religions with prayer for god helps because they never come true (I don exactly know the truth, but many Muslim refugees have Syria have prayed, but nothing has ever come to help them) .
2- I think the coincidences in our life are just too much. Have you ever thought about why we are the only intelligent specie on Earth? Why is our appearance so special? I think it is very unique. Why is our society like this? Why are we living like this?We have religions, politics... Furthermore, I think our personality and behavior are also meant for this. Like I said earlier, the coincidences are just too much to be called as just natural occurrences. We can never know the answer to this in our life time.... Maybe science will be able to reveal the ultimate truth to finally settle religions and science one day in a long long time....
The questions that I really want the answers to are:
1- How is there reality? What is consciousness?
2- Who created the creator? Maybe, the creator has always existed outside of time, and is the one who set all of the physical laws in the world we in... but it's probably so sophisticated beyond our intellectual capability.
First prove that there is a creator.
