Apathism, a Creation Theory
Everyone who has ever had a thought worth thinking has at one point pondered the origin of the universe.
Was intelligent design involved (what most would call a "creator" or "God(s))? If so, what was the origin of that creator? Has it simply existed forever? How is that possible?
This train of thought can be quite depressing if you prefer sensible and holistic answers. Still, I think either of two very similar options must be concluded through logic. A third answer is also available, but sequiters into the first two anyway.
These options are as follows:
Either
A. A creator without origin exists/existed and made the universe with some purpose in mind.
B. The universe exists without origin and is either cyclical or a one time deal (either we are a cycle of big bang, matter, black holes, repeat, or the universe dies a heat death from cobstant expansion).
C. The irrelevant third option is the universe is an experiment in another universe, but that begets the question of the origin of that universe, and we're back to square one.
I personally believe that the universe is too random to be by design, but also too random to be without origin, and the lack of any significant divine intervention led me to propose this, only creation theory I can make sense of.
Without further ado:
In the beginning, God was a number of things.
First and foremost, God was bored.
Since nothing besides God existed yet, God had nothing to do but think.
In thinking, God was confused, as here it was existing without any purpose.
God was also lonely, being alone.
God attempted to fix its problems by splitting itself in two.
This split released an immense amount of matter and energy, and is what we consider the "Big Bang."
Now both Gods become fixated on the distortion that is the universe, and grow excited when they see matter acquire intent (life).
They talk it over and decide to merge with the universe in order to gain the experience of all life so as to better understand their own purpose, believing that the all lifes' experiences will be preserved, collected, and joined after death into one God, who will use the collective experience to decide its purpose.
In this way we have a universe with a creator, but with neither an overseer nor a designer.
It follows that the purpose of life is to experience, and interfering with others' experience without good intentions, through death or degradation, is contrary to life's purpose, and therefore naturally unethical.
Living to experience also logically behooves cooperation over competition to provide a consistently better experience for the species as a whole.
These are ideals which I believe in, so I am proud of a creation theory that naturally justifies their core beliefs.
As a pseudo-scientific hypothesis pertaining to this theory, I believe that black holes are actually portals to the dimension that God exists in, and that they draw our souls (the imprint of our experiences on God's essence) into them and they join together with God on the other side, either as a continuous process or all at once when the universe collapses into itself at the end of time.
As a note to any admirers, I have dubbed this worldview Apathism, and its practitioners Apathists, the rational being we don't care if there is a God or what it wants, but we strive to live virtuously anyway, because it's the fair and logical thing to do given that the purpose of life is to experience.
