Why do you think we have a desire to explain our exis­tence? We have two dia­met­ri­cally opposed sys­tems of belief; reli­gions oper­at­ing on faith and sci­ence func­tion­ing on the­o­ret­i­cal pre­cepts. And the only con­clu­sion I can come to as to why either of them exist is to explain the unex­plain­able — where we come from and where we go after this. Reli­gion offers us a god-created uni­verse and eter­nal bliss and sci­ence offers us evo­lu­tion and its con­certed effort to thwart death(medical advances; though not effec­tive at com­bat­ting con­ta­gion, has mapped the genetic struc­ture of humans. Why? What is cur­rently com­ing into con­flict with the advance­ment of med­i­cine? Reli­gion and Sci­ence are butting heads over prob­a­bly the quin­tes­sen­tial sequence for under­stand­ing human exis­tence. But oh well, I’d like to think I’d be hap­pier not know­ing my origins.
