Looking at the picture from Mars surface, quite, dead, pointless, inhabitable, inhospitable one wonders:
If there was no intelligent life around what would be god doing in universe?
There was no meaning to good and evil, no judgment or punishment to handout.
Material/Physical world would just go along following laws of physics.
Without intelligent life there would not be any point or meaning of creating universe.
So does god created intelligence or vice versa?
Just keep looking at the surface of Mars!! Universe is awfully quite! It’s just sound of Dick cheney grinding his teeth !!
