Most of humanity look out into the created universe today and imagine an omnipotent god controlling and governing the known universe. Those somewhat more spiritually inclined offer adulations and praise to this almighty creator and seek consolation when their lives are troubled or their understandings perplexed. Yet few seek the very foundations upon which they make their offerings from nor do they question the apparent chaos and inharmonies that engulf them continually upon their short and somewhat miserable journey through this existence.

It is seen that humanity assumes much and yet knows very little as to the nature of its existence and its surrounding reality. [more]

I've never understood why people have such a problem with saying, "Damned if I know."

Is it not quite possible that this experiment we call humankind was started and then left to its own devices?:rolleyes:

I haven't a clue as to why we're here, but your conclusion pretty much sums up the nature of things.

I will freely admit that I don't have all the answers, if I did I would be sitting in our private jet on the way to Europe to track down some ancestors and have some Newcastle Brown Ale and some nice Spanish wines.

Even if you had all of the answers, nobody would give you ten cents for them anyway.

That's because answers are just more reality, and people get a belly full of that every day.

What they want to hear is "dreams"...and they'll pay good money for that.

Then why the popularity of Reality TV?

I have no idea how it all really started or why we're here. I guess it's only human to wonder and that's fine. It's when we start fighting over which theory is more correct and killing to prove the point......................
