You were created by a loving Father for a purpose.

Um, what purpose is that? To see that my hand moves?I mean, I feel as much wonder and amazement as anybody at nature, including the human hand; probably more than many, because I appreciate how many millenia it took for nature to arrive at this snapshot in time.However, if you look at your hand and think that God made human's specially and they didn't evolve and that we aren't a very smart upright primate, then you have only a rather conceited version of the Argument from Incredulity fallacy.

I have never, ever thought that life was futile.Life is for living now, the very best we can.
