No, it does not. Look up Nihilism.
Can God create a rock that he cannot lift? If yes, then there exists a rock that God himself cannot move, meaning God is not all powerful. If not, then God cannot create such a rock - and therefore is not all powerful. This shows that the all powerful Creator is a man-made concept, and a flawed one at that.
In the absence of God, we lose all forms of 'divine' purpose. No afterlife, no heaven or hell, no meaning. Just take a look at the scale of the universe to understand how insignificant we are. In fact, take a look at the scale of the timeline of just earth alone - life has been on Earth for a fraction of the time the planet has been around, and there have been 5 global apocalypse-level events since life first started. The human race is in but a hairwidth of this time. How many humans have ever lived? How many will live? How short are our individual lives compared to this?
We are no different than grass. Than pigs. Than trees or fish. We are the same as a virus, as a colony of ants, as a mushroom. We are just bundles of cells, desperately trying to reproduce and pass on DNA information. All life does this. All life fights to survive.
The fact that a subset of apes decided to start roasting the meat they ate (of other life forms they slaughtered to preserve their own) and therefore massively boost the nutrients delivered, boosting the brain size enough over the years that we surpassed the language capabilities of other intelligent races (dolphins are believed to have a language around about 1/3 as complex as the English language), doesn't make us 'special'. The fact we have developed the ability to ask 'why', to reason and perceive ourselves, doesn't somehow make us 'divine'. It doesn't mean we are suddenly destined for some grand plan while all other lifeforms are lesser…….. we, all living things, are the same.
The universe is likely in a state of quantum fluctuation. Ie the Big Bang was simply the quantum state shifting from contraction into expansion, and perhaps once the universe is cold enough and enough energy dissipates, it will enter a state of contraction again. If this theory is the case, then it has been doing this since… pff who knows.
It was hard for me to swallow this pill. I've spoken on other posts about it feeling like I have been blind all my life and now suddenly can see. See the truth of things. All of life is greedy, hungry for food and information. All life forms devour other life forms, struggling to make sure their own species can carry on, reproduce, and keep a cycle of nothing going. Until death. The thing that does transcend all. Everybody knows they will die. And every living thing is programmed from the core of their genetic makeup to be terrified of it.
Passive nihilism is understanding that it all means nothing, yet changing nothing about your life and continuing anyway. Optimistic nihilism is understanding that it all means nothing, and therefore can break away from 'society', from 'social rules', from your moral compass. Believing in nihilism is to realize that there is no plan, no fate, no guardians, and no true rules. You decide the values that you live by. You decide your path. Nothing and nobody else will. It can be either incredibly dangerous, or incredibly freeing.
Right now idfk what to change, so I'm passively nihilistic. I've realised the truth of the world, that existence is just… existing, without design or purpose, and yet idk what to do about it. So I'm still showering in the morning. I'm still emptying my trash can, still going to work, still saying thank you if somebody lets me cross the road and still keeping my mouth shut even if I know my boss is talking BS. Everything is just grey now. I feel numb most days.
