creator has not appeared to explain all and tell us where we all came from. Hence we remain clueless and search for answers.
There is obviously more to us than the human being. We are more than the human body we inhabit.
The body has been programmed and designed to act in specific ways. Much of it we have no control of and we didn't design it. Hence when the body is hurt, it heals itself without any effort on our part. Cut yourself and the body deploys substances, forms a scab and heals itself. We have absolutely no control over this process.
Just about every "living" thing on the planet is effectively a robot. Every living thing is built on a set of rules some simple some complex. One rule is common to all living things, the rule - replicate/multiply.
Who programmed the rules? And why? And surely the programming of the basic rule - replicate - was sure to end eventually in over population of living things to the point where much would die off due to lack of resources to support them all.

Good post Realist until you address the part about the 'Creator'
There is no creator! The Human Body has evolved into it's present state from a starting point that still remains a mystery. The only rules that apply to all living things [as you quite rightly state] are Continuation of Species; a rule that will eventually destroy us.
