The unexamined life is not worth living. God is Bipolar. The Universe is God's eternal body. Not only is the universe changing and in process, but so is God. In addition, since the universe is God's body upon which he is dependent, supernatural acts and miracles are impossible.
Man is a finite, free moral being.
The purpose of all things in the universe, including man, is to help God fulfill what lacks in his perfection. Man not only decides his own actions and world events, but man also decides the course of God's development as he is in the process of improvement. Man's death is the end of his actual personal existence. When a man dies, he does not have an immortal spirit or soul or self-awareness that continues on. A human might only live on figuratively, perhaps, in God's cosmic memory, if God thinks back on that person.
