In the Beginning there was.....

Ok, so what was there, what is there now and what does it all mean?

I think better when I write, so this is the answer to answering the questions I have or deciding that I cannot do so. Of course, I expect I will probably come up with more questions than answers, but maybe doing this will clear some of the cobwebs. Anyway I will use this lovely space to amuse myself and, perhaps, bore everyone else, or not. I like to think that those things which interest me are interesting also to others.

There are so many questions we, as a civilization or many civilizations struggling to coexist, are trying to answer. The more important the question the more different answers you will hear about and the less likely it is that even two or three people randomly selected from a crowd will agree on the answer, unless, of course, they choose, "I don't know."

What are the IMPORTANT questions?

1. Why does anything exist?
2. Why do we exist?
3. Does God exist?
4. How large is the universe?
5. Can we ever see it all?
6. What happens after death?
7. Why were we born on this planet at this time?
8. Is there a plan for anything?
9. If there is a plan, can we change it?
10. If there is a plan and we change it, what are the consequences?
11. Why do things work the way they do, especially as concerns the apparrent unfairness of the universe, or at least of life on this planet?
12. What is the best way to live our lives?
13. Does any of this matter?
