Your thoughts on how man kind still depends on a form of a god, diety or higher form. Myself, I still think of an afterlife but nessicarly a Christian, Budist, Muslam, Shintouistic after life. More or less a re-incarnation-like system. I believe a final afterlife provides inequalitly, and that if souls just go and dont return, how are they reproduced, and how can it balenced out?

Why would the perfect create something? How can the perfect will - for what he wills already is. Has it always existed? Is the universe part of God? The universe is imperfect, therefore it is less than god. It is but a slice.

Perhaps the universe is just a facet of the eternal which always has been, always will be. A slice of the multiverse. God is dead, long live god.

Increasing complexity requires reason? Chaos clusters, breaks up and finds new connections. Higher order is, perhaps, just a sign of the expanding and cooling universe. The increasing complexity might just be crystallization of this slice - time being just another dimension, it rotates. Complexity and simplicity are just on the other sides of the slice. To prove primary intent/god, we cannot look at the universe from within it. We can speculate and even discover unlimited dimensions, but we can never, ever look outside the system, because then we'd be equal to the perfect. For subjects there is no end-goal. In eternity, there is no goal. The goal posts shift ever further. Proof means looking outside the box, and that my friend is what we cannot do.

I must stop repeating myself. I'm a strong agnostic and cannot be swayed - it is impossible to know. We may study physics and find infinite layers, but the study of metaphysics is only useful in shaping the tools - there is nothing to be found in it.
