A philosophical question,

[Zeus._]

How do you think life came into being? Are you a creationist & believe we are constructed from a higher entity? Or are you one who takes a more scientific approach & believe we came from the perfect combination of materials & evolved? Send me your thoughts on this.

@wtfjudith Knowling that how the world originated helps science to understand the universe. Understanding the universe is very important.

I asked a question similar to this one. I was raised as a non-denominational Christian and was going to be a pastor at one point in my life. In the process of studying the doctrine, I noticed things that didn't add up or contradicted other text in the Bible. I decided to question my leadership and they just told me to have faith. Faith was the answer to everything or "God works in mysterious ways." I didn't like that answer, so I decided to look back further than the Bible, ancient history to be specific and see what other, older, civilizations believed. To condense this story... I learned that having just one belief significantly limits my understanding of things. Not only that, but I was missing out seeing a world that was teeming with all kinds wonder.

Since then, I have done tons and tons of research on history, mythology, science, mathematics, zodiac, other religions... you name it. However, I am no closer to knowing the truth but I will always keep searching. If you happen to figure it out before me, Zeus, let me know.

@wtfjudith where'd you find my photo at???? Delete before others know the truth

[Clitoris]

It's a complete mystery tbh like if there's a creator, who created him? And so on and so forth, guess our brains didn't evolve to think about these things

[Alive_WtfJudith]

@çæpþăįňçåpýbäřą i don't get it though, what would it change to know how the world originated anyways?

[MCurie]

@zeus-_ I believe in Science. I don't believe in god. I think god doesn't exist. Just because we don't completely know how we came into being doesn't mean that god did it. It simply means "We don't know". And we are working to figure it out.

[NormalGuy]

I dont think its god who created us, neither higher entity. Maybe evolution? but it doesnt seems real also. Figuring it out seems impossible. BTW, anyone thought about what happen after we die?

[MCurie]

@normalguy After we die, everything is finished. That's the easiest question to answer. Simple. There is nothing after that.

[Azriel]

I always believe in God. I don't know why though but there's something telling me He's real.

P.S. Meeeeeeh

[adios]

This requires a grand definition of all the terms you put in the question. What do we mean by science and what do you mean by materials? Does your use of "science" mean positive or exact or "hard" science or does it include more formal sciences that depend on logic and deduction? Similarly, by materials are we to suppose that nothing beyond matter is to be excluded. If we take evolution as the only mechanism of change in the universe, then it becomes difficult for anything to exist that is non-material. An interesting thought: if matter has been eternally present would it not be a higher power than us?

[Zeus._]

@evan-elderson I am happy to see that others think so deeply into these matters. Keep searching Evan, as with many things the truth is right in front of our eyes

[Cherry 17]

I'd go for a more scientific approach

[Cherry 17]

@zeus-_ I'm a medical student so it's pretty common for me to think like that
