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."

Because "hell" and "fuck" flow better than damned.

Must have been left to its own devices fairly recently then, as we are still here.

It is much easier to focus on others misfortunes than it is on ones own. The same reason psychiatrists have such a high suicide rate.

It was just a misunderstanding long ago when someone was asked to "execute the theory"

Damn MP. You're like a chess player playing multiple opponents.

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.
