Imagination

The art of SEEING something, pre-visualizing it, and deciding that it is good.  This pre-supposes a consciousness...
Think that's what God thought before He (or She) belched out the universe?  Or was the original conception there, and then, as a result of the massive willpower required to blast that conception into existence, chaos happened, life grew beyond God's control, some life stuck, continued to exist and evolve, and some life didn't?
Or, if there is no God, what willpower created all this?  Is there a willpower?  Does life need to have a reason for existence?
Been thinking about this a lot lately...
