Have you ever ponder:
Why you exist?
Quote:Why you have instincts?The reptilian part of my brain.
Quote:Why you have a mind?I'm a human being with a brain.
Quote:Why you are a moral being?Combination of my parents teachings, empathy, and knowing my actions have consequences.
Quote:Are you a product of chance?No. My parents decided to give birth to me.
Quote:Can chance produce 7 billion parallel creatures who have similar properties as you have?Men and women decide to have kids. These kids are still look similiar to the parents. Then the kids grow up and have more kids. This process is repeated until there are 7 billion creatures that look similiar. I'm glossing some details like death, but this sums it up. Chance is not involved in this process.
