I'm about to drop a bomb so big that it still won't get you laid.
First off, we know that we all live in the same universe, therefore we all experience the same objective reality (solipsists get OUT). What is also true is that our experience of reality is determined only by how we perceive this objective universe. Therefore, we can say that all people, and by extension all living things, have a different experience of the same reality.
However, since our reality is common to all of us, our subjective experiences can be bridged, meaning that through understanding reality, we can also come to understand other people's and creatures' experience. In fact, we do this all the time: we try to understand other people's thoughts, we try to imagine what it would be like to live as a Venus Flytrap, etc.
So everybody has some understanding of how it is to be this or that person, or this or that creature. Because all of our experiences are interconnected, we can say that a little bit of understanding about how it is to be something else translates into a little bit of understanding about how it is to be everything else. In short, all living things are to some degree familiar with each other's experiences through their common observation of the universe. I like to call this understanding the Seed.
Now let's talk about the meaning of life. I don't know what it is, but I know that in order for someone to be happy with their existence, they need to achieve the goals that will make them happy. More specifically, in order to be totally happy, you need to do all of the things that could ever possibly make you happy.
Since you have a little bit of everything in you, the list of the things that make you happy is the list of the things that could ever make any living thing happy. In conclusion, in order to be happy, you must do what makes everything happy.
This ultimately brings us to the realization of objective morality: You must do what leads to every living thing to be happy (happy=having achieved its purpose, whatever that is).
But wait, even if we accept that morality is objective, we can't possibly accept that all things understand it, or even in the same way. Animals can't think like humans, and not all humans think alike. However, since this morality is related to the fundamental nature of the world, it must also apply to all things. Therefore, there must be some sort of understanding which surpasses human thought, animal thought and any thought possible, and connects all of life into a web, where every creature is connected with every other, and its happiness is tied to every other creature's happiness.
This web, meaning the knowledge of objective morality, cannot be anything other than God.
In conclusion, there is a God and he is something which causes all living creatures to be perfectly happy. If that isn't a cope I don't know what is. I've already told two frens and decided to tell all of my frens.
