The idea, still unproven although widely embraced, that humans evolved apart from a personal, creating God is convenient, even necessary. Without this philosophical, pseudo-scientific innovation we would find ourselves dogged by that nasty ultimate purpose question. With it we are set free to carve out our own individual purposes to the extent possible within the unavoidable limitations that others in the human tribe place upon us. As long as “life IS good” you might be able to drown out the nagging voice calling out the lie.
