A philosophical question,
-
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.

@cherry-17 as would I Cherry

@joewindsurf that is a good question Joe, one that is very hard to answer! If that were the case, would matter have some form of being even at the most fundamental level? Would that mean that the universe itself is one big system with a consciousness that we may never understand? That is a good question to ponder Joe, thank you for your reply
-
I'd go for a more scientific approach
-
@mcurie I like your answer Curie, I agree that you shouldn't put something off to God just because humanity hasn't found the answer yet. Humans have a long way to go to find the answers they crave but you will never get there if you ask a God to find the answers for you

@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

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?

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.

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

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