OK, so what is your "new message for the world"?

"c)" is also misleading, that tadpole 3 should correct himself and explain that if they die as tadpoles they will most-likely never metamorph into frogs, they will merely become as a melted snow-flake and their remnants will nourish micro-organisms and scavengers... or the other possibilities.
fixed the quoted post. ^^

I also like the "there must be a God, tadpoles are talking" answer, because the word God itself does imply a lot of illogical things, especially when understood as "supernatural."

We are confused because we do not understand the process of our creation. All life on earth is created by natural processes; we call it natural because we understand its progression. Once we understand the progression of our creation we will come to realize it is natural as well.

Explanations of our creation can be explained by observing nature. If there is no basis in nature then the explanation is not real. It is not an accident, nor is it divine; it is a natural process.

Develop clarity of thought. Do not be confused by ideology and self-ego. Simplicity is the secret to understanding the truth.



Note: The New Message for the World is called Epiphany.

On one side of you have religion, on the other side you have atheism; the truth lies somewhere in between. At the start of my journey I believed that we were created by this universe. In the end I realized that something or someone created this universe…. There is a purpose to our existence. We were created to evolve.

Our ability to understand is limited by our evolutionary comprehension. Scientists say that dinosaurs inhabited this planet for over a hundred million years. We have been here for a mere couple hundred thousand. Imagine our ability to comprehend a million years in the future.

Now further imagine our abilities fifty million years into the future; imagine how much we would change and how much we evolved. Now come back to today and compare our ability to understand to those in the future. Where are we on our evolutionary scale; we are the seeds in a garden waiting to grow.

Next: Epiphany, The New Message for the World.

EPIPHANY




Our creator created the universe. This universe is a tool of our creation. This planet was placed here in this galaxy to give birth to life and this life is an extension of the universe and it is our innate nature that drives us to find our creator.



As the search for our creator continues, we evolve. And then one day our descendants will come face to face with our creator and our creator will teach us how to create and then we will become creators and we will create universes.






This is my epiphany

This could be accurate. But you have presented no reason to assume it is any more likely to be accurate than any of infinite possibilities.

Perhaps there was/is a creator. Perhaps there is a purpose. Or perhaps...
