Strange. Not
too far from the Truth, as I understand it. As it was once explained to me, the
Creator entity of this universe is,
indeed, engaged in an
eternal battle with a
Destroyer entity — call them Light and Dark, Good and Evil, God and Devil, Shiva and
Vishnu, however you want to characterize them.
When these ultra-entities collide in battle, sparks fly, whole universes are born and die, but the
Creator is in perpetual
retreat from
the
Destroyer — and necessarily so.
As it retreats across dimensions and whole universes of its own making, the
Creator casts
Life in its passing (Life being, possibly, the
most toxic and unstable weapon in the
Creator's arsenal). Thus, Life is strewn across the universe like a perpetually-mutating mine field,
ever-evolving into something
much more dangerous tomorrow than it is
today.
And Life's
purpose is to present a particularly nasty obstacle for the
Destroyer entity, which is forever pursuing the
Creator.
So, from a certain perspective,
Life is just a
tool of the
Creator, or, more precisely, a
weapon with which to smite the
Destroyer. Sounds
disturbingly familiar, doesn't it?
