We, the human have exceptional power over everything else in nature. We have an exceptional brain to have this power that is capable of creating intelligence and consciousness. We are not unique in this, however. Other animals have some level of intelligence and consciousness as well. Having these capabilities makes us able to adapt to the environment more efficiently. The evolutional advantage is clear for the animals that have these characteristics. However, we, the humans, and only we, have a level of these qualities that make us capable of building a science and technology-based society. So what is the goal, the ultimate goal (even if it is not an evolutionary goal), in our case to have this level of intelligence and consciousness?
It is the recognition of our world, the comprehension of our universe. We are capable of asking questions, find answers, recognize, and understand our world. We are curious, like many other animals but only we have the characteristics that make us able to find a reason for things. This quality is evolutionarily advantageous. However, evolution does not make it necessary for us to bear a deep level of understanding of our world. It makes us curious, which helps us survive, but also the urge to understand and know our world is what I call the ultimate goal of our intelligence and consciousness.
And what could be the ultimate goal of God, he who possesses the intelligence, the knowledge, the understanding, and the power over everything existing in our world? Because he knows and understands everything that exists, God's existential goal could be to create new things, new things that even he did not know of before. His goal could be to create newer and newer universes by chance and see how new things work. However, this is only a playground for him. God's ultimate existential goal, I believe, is to create something which is similar to his own self, to create something to his similarity in his created world. He wants to create something, which can create new things and understand causes, who is capable of recognizing his work and recognizing him. In other words, God wants to create humans.
