Who is the creator?
Few dare to ask. Fewer still really know.

Here in northern California we have some great opportunities to 'do geology' in this casual way.
Roadside Geology series is excellent for this.

IMHO, the question is irrelevant and out of topic (title of this thread: why mountains are there).The great secret question of life is: Who is the creator?
Why secret?The great secret question
Unless allegorically speaking, mountains are not living in a strict sense.The great secret question of life
For those believing in a creator, the answer is contained in the question: the creator is the creator... whatever you name it: invisible pink unicorn, god, zeus, the flying spaghetti monster, etc, etc.Who is the creator?

For me as someone with a background in geology/geophysics I habitually muse on things like the motion of tectonic plates, deposition, uplift, erosion, volcanism etc. Do other people do this when they're out and about or do such things normally take a back seat to more pressing matters like the actual climbing?
