If there is no creator then what is the point of life. Would you agree that a living species that feels pain is different than a rock or tree that doesn't feel pain? If you agree, then what is the point of that living species ever coming into existence if there is no creator? Yes, I have a soul. It is rooted in my ability to hand money to a complete stranger to help them out. It is rooted in my ability to have a faith in a higher power. It is rooted in my ability to have free will. It is rooted in my ability enjoy music. It is rooted in my ability to reject evil actions that would help myself but hurt others. Yes, humans have an extremely strong soul that cannot be explained by science.
What is the point of life if there IS a creator?
It hasn't been established that living species need a point to come into existence. The answers for the origin of life aren't completely known, and may never be completely known, being over 3 billion years in the past, but what signs there are point to natural processes as the origin of life.
I have often handed money to complete strangers to help them out without requiring belief that there is a supernatural part of me that will continue living on another plane when my body is dead. I enjoy music and reject evil actions that would help myself but hurt others. Our prosocial instincts reinforced by culture and experience and found in other social animals are not a scientific mystery. They are as much a part of our nature as our more selfish instincts, and come from the same source.
