I don’t know the meaning of life, but I do know how it will end.
I have neglected school and any further education in the past to concentrate on the one thing that really interested me, in fact I have been obsessed with this question since I can remember, it was my first question when I was able to speak, and that was “where do we come from” nobody can answer that question or as come close, so I thought about where we are going instead. To get the answer to that question I needed to understand and learn about the past. I taught my self some history and read a lot on religion, and studied science all from books I got from the library, but the one book I found most helpful although very hard to understand was the bible.
I found it very difficult to believe what the bible said at first, and agreed with most people it was utter bunk and rubbish. But when you look at the state of affairs with this planet and what the bible prophecies you cannot ignore it. It tells of things that have happened and things that will happen, and that got my attention. Well wouldn’t you put ten pounds on a horse if you had the results before they ran. Yes you would and results pay dividends that are why we trust people who tell us they know better than us. Yet you cannot understand a book that tells you your future and gives good advice about how to live your life. Simply because threes a few human errors that get in the way of gods word. Well I know there are many of you who don’t believe in god and don’t want to. That’s ok if you want to rely on your own intelligence to know better. Or science to tell you better.
Science is a great source of finding out things and has given us everything that we have today, cars, trains, planes and, an easy lifestyle, that’s getting better and better I think. But threes one thing science cannot give us, and that’s unity.
Unity keeps people together, its supports humanity and gives strength to small or large groups who need moral and spiritual support. With out this unity then people would fall apart, families would and do break up with out unity. And it’s because of this word that I believe and trust in the bible. People say religion causes wars and I agree. But its science that provides the weapons and destroys. We can argue about religion till we are blue in the face, but one thing is for sure, and that is religion can do something science cannot, and that is make unity, I don’t think there is a mathematical formula for unity. It does not have any say in science because you can break physics and numbers down to there zero values and that leaves you with nothing, a big fat zero in worth. No value. So I would not depend too much on science and math.
Because I have a choice between science and religion I have to choose religion, and it doesn’t matter which one, because they all hold people together. Where as science is an academic subject that concerns itself to the individual rather than trying to create unity. With science one can ponder and be left alone to find answers, one can sit under the apple tree and find a solution to a problem. But what if this problem involves human life and the end of the world, what if there was a book that foretold of the end of the world. Well you know there is a book that says this. But disbelieve its words, just because some scribes or scholars made a few mistakes a long the way.
But there is one thing and that is if you put your trust in science and math then you should know this much, that there are more people who would put their faith in the bible and seek answers to this question than all the mathematicians and scientists put together.
Well that’s the reason I used the bible to get answers to my questions.
Because I could not find any university teacher or lecture that is qualified to answer my questions, as they all use the bible at some stage to find their answers.
Anyway, I really want to talk about finding the truth to what’s going on in this world, I just don’t feel comfortable with the excuse that we are all here for the good of science. There as to be more to us than that. We are a very intelligent species and a beautiful race of people that deserve better than to be told we are all about the survival of the fittest and that the best man wins. That’s rubbish, it’s all about staying together and keeping unity, and we can only do that through love and understanding of each other. Wisdom and insight are the two most important tools to seek in this world, UN fortunately they don’t come easily or if at all. I know some university graduates who are very academic but who are also to blind to see past their own nose for answers, I believe it is more important to have wisdom and hindsight than to try to be smart with clever answers, I mean nobody likes a know it all do they.
