Maybe what we see around us has always been.I don't say it has, but it is a possibility and it has more attraction to me than has the idea of a creator.
I agree, why should there be a meaning or purpose to our existence? Again, I prefer to believe there isn't any.
So why do theists think as they do? Maybe they are best placed to answer, but my obserations are that indoctrination from an early age has much to do with it. As has feelings such as fear ( of judgement day ) or hope ( for eternal life ). Some may also genuinely believe that there simply HAS to be a purpose to living and dying. Simple being a part of a collective may also have its appeal.
Let them tell us.

A man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
