Why is it so hard for the great majority of us to just accept that our existence is due to nothing more than chance? There are some crazy ideas floating around on C-D's R&P forum. Some that sound as if they are straight out of a Sci-Fi novel. Why does there need to be some greater cosmic/divine purpose? What are we all so afraid of? Why do we accept things as fact with no proof?

Because when you are a sentient being living a pointless existence on an unimportant world in an unimaginably vast universe, you need *something* to hold on to, and the only other choices are hollow and unfulfilling self-indulgence or entropic defeatism.

How so? When there is zero evidence that supports it. And with the great number of creators that the human race has come up with how do you pick? And why would a creator make such imperfect creations?

I see plenty of evidence. So do most people. Most of the world's religions believe in the same creator.
How about we start with mankind's need for a cosmic/divine reason for existence. Or our fear of there being no reason at all.
Those are your thoughts and world-views, we are not in a 100% communist/absolutist society as of yet, so far the time being we should be free to discuss what we'd like to an extent.

People see what they want, evidence it does not make.
Again a greater number of adherents does not make you position stronger.
Also who should tell all the Hindus and Buddhists that they're completely wrong because they're in the minority.
