Will is merely the drive to reduce dissonance between each of our active neural circuits.
Evolution can be see as the same process, where nature tries to adapt or 'resonate' with its environment. By doing so, it evolved to a point, where it became self-aware and began to ponder its own existance. When a person faces the paradox of wanting purpose while thinking that human existence is meaningless, cognitive dissonance occurs.
Throughout history, this has led many to reach for spiritual and religious guidance, chanllenging science, as it failed to give answers to existential questions, such as: "Why or what am I?"
