It's an evolutionary strategy. Pair-bonding that is purely monogamous provides a ''stable'' base for potential high-quality offspring. Logical enough?

Try looking at it from another way. Would there be an idea of a God if we did not exist? Similar to the philosophical staple of ''Does a falling-tree make a sound if noone hears it?'' In a billion possibilities where it didn't turn out so well, there wouldn't be anyone to ask that question, maybe it just so happens that it did.

Life may exist in forms that we have not discovered, sentience is much rarer true, but not possibly low enough to be dismissed. Out of the millions of systems and uncounted planets, are you truly confident enough to dismiss them all?

Evolution is a likely answer. Organisms without any drive would very obviously not bother to do anything. They die = no propagation of DNA. Even the simplest of single-celled organisms will try to sustain itself and eventually reproduce.
