That's a bit of a reach. Inanimate objects are not happy, sad, or anything. Once life arises, competition sets in. That's all evolution is -- changing to overcome difficulties; competing to makes sure your genes survive.

Methinks many Creationists harbor an intrinsically nihilistic view of the universe and use their religion as a prop to their sanity. Without God around to keep things straight they see the universe becoming the stuff of their deepest, darkest fantasies.

Once life arises,

Once life arise from what? And where did it get the instinct from to survive?

Keep the blinkers on. There is the cycle of life and death. In death you return back to your basic elements and become inanimate. Why be dependent on external forces when you can be totally inanimate. Why is there the urge to procreate and have a rat race and what is that driving force? Why a male and a female when evolution should have made it unnecessary? Happiness must be true oblivion like being totally stone cold dead as a rock. For some to believe in far-fetched theories, happiness is a Machiavellian pipe dream.
