Does life have purpose/ is there a God?

Huh?  Do you not create things for a purpose?  If there is a creator or higher power, it then suggests we exist for a reason

it means they made it for their reason. we still have no reason for existence ourselves.

You keep saying I don't understand the word, but I think it's you not comprehending what I'm pointing at.  What is at the source of adaptation?  Whatever you'd like to name that, I call it intelligence, which seems to be a pretty accurate description, is what I'm referring to.  Maybe whatever is processing inherent or existing information and producing a response would be a lengthier version of what I'm point to when I say intelligence?  And further, whatever created THAT, to me, somewhat suggests some type of further underlying intelligence, possibly a creator.  I really don't know how to better describe it.

No I'm not lol.  Why does a virus mutate and become resistant to medications that try to kill it?  Where does that intelligence come from? That IS evolution.  Evolution is, at its fundamental level, an underlying intelligence that produces change as a result to something.

Intelligence is more of a quirk than anything. If anything, increased intelligence has both found ways to keep the deficient alive and the more intelligent from producing quite as many offspring. It stands to doom all around us or eventually rid of itself.

"Evolution is intelligence."
No, it's the byproduct of cause and effect clashing. Intelligence is strictly "the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills."

You're getting nature and nurture confused pretty hard.

Really?  I'm so confused how you can honestly believe that.  What if we are all part of the giant creator, much like we are composed of individual cells.  You don't think there's anything to heroin being one of the best feeling drugs, yet if abused can kill you?  Why doesn't heroin make us super healthy?  Why does selfish action push others away?  Why do we have a desire to live?  Why is it difficult to apologize when we're wrong?  Why do we need to eat and drink to survive, why does that element need to exist?

"I'm so confused how you can honestly believe that."
You seem confused in general.

"What if we are all part of the giant creator, much like we are composed of individual cells."
It wouldn't mean anything if we found that out, as we wouldn't suddenly supersede that existence.

On top of that, we'd likely be seen more like a virus, killing the host slowly. We don't really benefit anything but ourselves and a few other species that have regressed and parasited onto us.

"You don't think there's anything to heroin being one of the best feeling drugs, yet if abused can kill you?"
Anything can be abused to the point of death, even water. More on topic, how is this related?

"Why doesn't heroin make us super healthy?"
Some research on it might yield a real answer for you.

"Why does selfish action push others away?"
Not always.

"Why do we have a desire to live?"
Survival of the Fittest. Go figure those without it don't tend to make it quite as far.

"Why is it difficult to apologize when we're wrong?"
Shame, a byproduct of fear that's nurtured through societal constructs.

"Why do we need to eat and drink to survive"
There's answers to all of this instead of just saying "God did it" and walking away. If you really want to know, look it up.

"Why does a virus mutate and become resistant to medications that try to kill it?  Where does that intelligence come from? That IS evolution.  Evolution is, at its fundamental level, an underlying intelligence that produces change as a result to something."


Not all evolution is beneficiary. Flaws and quirks can develop as well that actually work against them.

The word you're looking for for the virus is "adaptation". You might as well call suntanning "intelligence" at this rate.
