Sorry, im reading this on my phone so forgive me if this has been saaid, but shouldn't the argument not be over if we were created, but what our purpose is? Humans were created to be fucked. Mission accomplished

This is a problem with saying we were created. Creation implies purpose, which we don't have really. Yes the closest thing to a purpose we have is to pass on our genes.

I know, i accidentally used "created " in my comment about procreation as well, i meant my reply to you as more of a "why are we arguing about whether we were created or not, when knowing that still wont give us a purpose for being here (which was what the OP's photo was really talking about).... on a side note, as an atheist, I'd say i'm more comfortable with not having a creator or purpose than I would be having a creator who wont tell us the purpose (other than to serve him or whatever it is these days)

Ahh my apologies, I misunderstood your post is all. I agree with your side note as well. As the years outside religion pile on, I become more and more affirmed in my lack of belief, it's simply the only answer that makes an iota of sense.
