And that is hitting the nail directly on the head.
The key fact of life is that evolution and moving forward is made possible by simple 1 word questions such as "WHY?" "Where?" "How?" "was?"
"where did man come from?" "were the events told in the bible true?" "how did the earth come about?"
every question leads to an answer which leads to another question about the answer which pulls us back farther in time to the very beggining or pushes us forward to find out why the current answer is what it is.
science says life was created from cells, micro organisms, atoms etc. but where did they come from, where did what they are made of come from and so on. we can keep asking questions that make us go backwards untill we either have a answer or have a question that CANT BE ANSWERED.
though some people dont agree with religion where some people do, so what?
hypotheticaly speaking, If the rapture does come, those who believe are safe. If not then your screwd, but if nothing ever happens, who cares? you lived a good life, did good things, hopefully made a difference in the lives of others, and were realtively happy with your life.
guess the base of my idea is: "When you were born, everyone around you was smiling while you were the one crying. Live a life so worth while with no regrets, that when you die, everyone around you will be crying but you will be the one who is smiling."
