What motivation makes a kitten twirl and roll joyfully on a beautiful sunny day or what makes the petals of a flower bloom to the warmth of the tranquil sunlight?

Pretty much, not so much with plants. They function differently.

Chemical reactions.

To survive and reproduce. Animals don't lust for some greater purpose or meaning like we do. Not everything requires a meaning to exist.

Quote:Petal don't open to receive the comfort of sunlight or rather open up for insects only when it is sunny?
Petals don't experience comfort. Comfort, love an all that has no meaning to it. It exists and reproduce, that's it.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
