Motives, Causes, Will, Purpose
All religions base their existential fulcrum on the concept of a first cause, and that God is the origin of everything and the entire universe.
Without invoking David Hume's discourse on cumulative and infinite circular causation, this philosopher excludes causes as ontological and epistemological elements of the scientific method because it is a tautology.
Then Schopenhauer presents us with the thesis of simple "will" as an explanation of existence and being within the environment of the subjective quantum phenomenology of the interaction of being with the observable world, of the whole and everything; thus, everything is nothing more than quantum interaction between the observable and the phenomenon of the universe. The world as a representation of the will.
HEISEMBERG: uncertainty principle / SCHRODINGER: the collapse of reality
What remains is the element of "purpose" of everything and everything, to definitively kill, exterminate, and exclude science and religion as explanations for the universe.
Whatever God's will was in his religious version of his unfathomable designs, whatever the purpose of intelligent design, whatever the purpose of the quantum vacuum of the Big Bang, these three purposes would never explain the universe as the result of a purpose.
Therefore, there is no need to seek the origin of the universe, as matter, as energy, with information and laws or intelligence of the universe itself, in either religion or science.
The foolish question: who created the universe and when?
The right question is: what is the purpose of the creation of the universe?
The question is not causation. Who gave rise to it, or what is the original causative entity?
The coherent question is: Did God need the creation of the universe for his delight?
Was God bored?
Anything tells me that there is no purpose in this chaos called the universe.
The universe, lacking a purpose, becomes irrational.
Any God who created it would supposedly be an irrational being.
Intelligent design would be irrational. The original quantum vacuum has no rationalism.
Is the universe an end in itself, or does the universe have no purpose?
For what purpose did God create an animal that suffocates another animal by wrapping itself around its body and then devouring it to extract food for its brief survival, to reproduce, then die, to rot?
Then, God created another being to fly in the skies; another to swim in the waters, and another to eat the leaves from the tops of the trees; another being to eat everything that is on the ground; then there is another animal that attacks others with its sharp claws and fangs and tears their skin, breaks their bones, and in the face of the desperate scene, still fighting for life, the prey is devoured while still in its death throes, bleeding.
Then, God created other animals with many eyes; and treacherous microscopic animals that cannot be seen.
So God created a star so large that it would encompass the entire solar system, only to shine aimlessly until it was discovered with powerful telescopes that, if not invented, would be completely unnecessary for human life and other galactic systems millions of parsecs away.
And there's this sun traveling at a speed of a million kilometers per hour, only to arrive nowhere special, all without the slightest purpose.
Some Bill Gates or Elon Musk can amass a trillion dollars to buy absolutely nothing that can be acquired for this amount, which only exists in bank computers and brokerage firms;
There isn't enough paper to print banknotes to represent a trillion dollars, nor enough gold to make that amount into coins. Elon Musk couldn't exchange a trillion dollars after death; and even in life he couldn't buy all that value in: castles, hotels, aircraft, yachts, sneakers, food, drinks—it would be useless, and he could never know all the properties he acquired in his entire life, and if he wanted to count that money, he would never come close to a billion.
We are born, we live, we travel, we drink and we eat, only to die, respectively: forget the journey, become thirsty again and then hungry, and our children repeat the same useless ritual only to die in the end without any purpose. That's why we invented: the soul, the spirit, religion, ethics and rituals, Olympic medals that are only valid until the next Olympics or until another record snatches away our useless glories, as important as being the Indianapolis champion for a year until the new winner eclipses all fleeting and transient glory, as useless as winning a war or reaching the moon.
We eliminated the sense of causation, and what remained was the mere will of a creator who, lacking nothing, created a purpose to boast about and avoid loneliness.
Pure phenomenological will.
Just empty vanity without purpose.
