Hi frogza and Noroku. Thanks for your input
On my good days, I like to believe in creationism and purpose, and I feel ok to deal with day to day in this manner. But I also know it is something I *like* to believe in. It can frustrate me at times when I know that it is probably impossible to understand the reason for our existance *for sure*.
During a time when I faced many personal challenges I was searching for meaning and understanding and was feeling really frustrated that I couldn't see any logical reasons for the way I was feeling and why. I couldn't even place it within the broad frameworks of creation and purpose so I was forced into a corner until I came up with something just to stop my head spinning. It was this;
Life is not a meaning
It is an experience
There are no guarantees
There is no security
Nothing to rely upon
But the experience itself
Even when I'm having a good day, and I can see hope and purpose for us as a race, and when it warms my heart to see the faith in creation and purpose perspectives, I can't ignore the fact that I believe this is more certain for me than anything else.
What are your thoughts?
Can I also ask, how do people who come from the evolutionary perspective deal with 'the middle bit'? What's important to you?
