Circle of Life...really.

I talked to Beth this morning about some of last night's discussion and she asked what Ryan and I came up with as an answer to the creation question: is there an intelligent creator? some source-being behind life? As we discussed the matter, I came to better-grip the concept of life--and even still, the mystery of it. So here's my thought. Look at life in itself, conceptually. Life is what? Existence? Positive or pro-creative energy? Self-sustaining? Right. So is it necessary for life to have a source, a starting point? (At least for all practical purposes?) The truth is that life is. Doesn't matter if the chicken or the egg came first; they're both life. And our wondering at both is both purposeful and endless...as it should be.
