From God Or Through Natural Selection. Are We Ignorant Forms Of God Or Intelligent Primates?
God and the various religious faiths and superstitions are belief systems. Religion asks for people to have faith and discard doubt about religious statements. Religion is fixed and rigid. Religion relies on mysteries, which by definition are beyond human understanding.
Evolution by natural selection is NOT a belief system. Scientific theories are NOT belief systems. Science uses skepticism to challenge statements. Science changes as the evidence improves and is flexible and not afraid to appreciate that doubt and uncertainty are normal tools to approach the world. Science approaches the world as awe inspiring, but in no way “permanently” mysterious. The world is only temporarily mysterious.
Based on this approach, Science is BETTER than religion. Any day and in all ways. We are fairly intelligent primates, but still need to get a whole lot smarter and stop confusing ourselves with fantasy. We’re smarter than some other animals, but still pretty slow! But there’s hope, because at least we’ve begun to use science to challenge blind faith.

Purely random. Purpose is a subjective term, implying intelligent design for a specific function. We are not here for another’s purpose.
We assign purpose to our own lives.

Through Natural Selection. I think that sister, there is a recourse that states that there is God, and it is that it is a trick of the State, in it’s eloquence. And In it’s nihil, it is a killer.
Where is God, the one who euphoria bequeths infinite, and the essence with my form in ignorance?

You said it yourself, they’re both opinions. no one can give you the answer you seek. I personally say that natural selection, but thats just me.
Good luck, i hope you find your answer!

We are whichever we want to be.

Perhaps we are intelligent primates that God has selected to be more. We are chosen to be above the other animals.
