As a Christian Believer, I always had a problem with this theory of endless rebirth. If a blade of grass has such a life force that it can grow in a crack in a cement sidewalk, that shows the purpose of life. If humans survive in hostile conditions, if life is found after atolls were nuked, all of this points to a purpose. Life exists, and exists forcefully! If the cycle was endless, expanding and collapsing, what would be the point? Sidelined once told me that the point was not the dancers in this endless cosmic game. The point was the dance. Well, to some, the point is the creation eternal. To me, however, the point is the Creator eternal. I guess that is where I differ from some views.
