A young child will eventually ask the question, "Where did I come from?"   What he or she is asking is,  "Where was I before I was here?"  You can say "Mommie's tummy", but that isn't really what he wants to know.  There is something within the child that brings him to ask such a question.  Other species don't do this.  But the human child wants to know something beyond his physical world.  Something spiritual.   The human species has an empty place within that 'a drive' can't  satisfy.  It is a need to know  whether there is something more, something that is bigger than we are.

Those are the questions that the human species asks that no other species does.  Our species wants to know something spiritual.  That knowledge does not help us with any of our basic drives to survive:  Hunger, Thirst, Sex.  The knowledge of where we came from helps us find our place in the universe.

So we are full circle.  Back to where I started this blog:  The two choices.    There are only two choices.
1.  Accidental.   If you choose this answer, you must ask yourself where did this accident happen?  Which is another question .  And if life is accidental,  then all life has evolved from the first molecule.  But where did that molecule come from? And why did some molecules become "Alive," and others become rock.

2.  Created.  If you choose this answer, the essential question of whether or not all of this could be accidental seems absurd.   It would have to be one accident after another.

So there is one Instinct that I believe humans have meets the scientific definition:  it is without exception in the species, full blown when stimulated, and is not learned.

We seek God
