That begs the question, is there enough room in heaven/astral world for all the souls that exist? Are new souls still being created or is there a limited number? I know Buddhism doesn't believe in "souls" but whatever they call the thing in humans that goes on...
The population of the earth doubles every ten years. So now it is over 7 billion people. In 10 years, the earths population will be 14 billion. So let's assume 7 billion were reincarnated.... that means 7 billion new souls were created...or consciousnesses or life-streams or whatever one calls it. Seven BILLION! Where will they live? Earth is doomed but then scientists just say, whatever, when the food runs out the population will go down. But yea, there could be a system where nothing dies... you stop making new ones. Or like when you die, you make a duplicate... POP....the problem has always been animals having more than 2 offspring.

You mean the creator is not a willful being? Like evolution, impartial, no bias or "person" there? I would say who made the laws of evolution then. The laws clearly have a bias and intended result. Like how living things, on whole, seek to avoid pain and find pleasure. That is embedded in the laws of evolution and created beings. Why even have pleasure and pain in living things? It is easily erased, we do it with drugs. The question that comes to my mind there is why? No creator.... why all of this?
I'd also say the obvious which is overlooked. WE are creators. Everything you see around you we humans created, not the raw materials, the trees, sand, minerals, rocks ....but the wood, cement, steel, glass.... all human creations made out of the raw materials we found here. Then besides all that we create, we create our rooms, our relationships, our lives...
So 7 billion of us leave at around 100 years if we are lucky.... we are creators.... why would we stop out of the body? It's what we do.... and as modern scientists have discovered... an observer changes the behavior of matter.... so us just existing is creating or causing matter to change.
