What is it to exist? Is there a reason a purpose? If there were no exisitence then there would be no questions. If life is a illusion we would always be searching for reason and purpose for being a concious being. Even being here and concious we have questions...why? If we were not here then no questions. Existence with questions must be valid..for some reason? I do not believe in the big bang theory. Life from nothing. I believe God used matter and atoms to create our universe and us. I cannot belive we come from primorial ooz? Where did it come from? How did life get into the ooz in the first place?

Before life no evolution only after life. But my question is whats the reason for our existence as concious beings? pljamesone@att.Net

For a thinking human, existence is a blessing and a curse, both.
If there is a God, he's on vacation. What if your gift
(and punishment) is to be born as the highest (local) achievement
of the whole mess? If you do great things for some, you will
affect generations of others. Our combined memory is where
heaven and hell live. It's even where most of the contents
of a mind comes from.

I think some of the answers to Existentialism came before
it was called that, in Dostoevski. That's sort of my take
on it. The idea of "you're gonna have to serve someone"
(as Dylan said) gets developed...devil or lord, good or
bad, staving boredom and lack of purpose by partying or by
finding a mission.. The Existential themes have been around..
there's even good religion and bad religion to show how the
nail bends. "Hell is other people" said Sartre. So is
Heaven. Finding that..is tricky, without some service.

We're conscious Beings. After we need to have which consciousness is conscious of what thing, and how the objects are in general to be understood made conscious of. From that perspective we have exisitence. Thereby it is questioned why the universe evolves into the condition of man pushing to drive the Car, for instance; man pushing to maintain energy for easy mining access. The thing is the profit, and the objects for how we exist (Man exisiting) is inanimate structures in Energy.

Speaking of asking questions, why is it that you're willing to entertain the possibility that life is an illusion yet not willing to entertain the possibility of the big bang or the primordial ooze? These are theories that don't need divine intervention to explain how we exist.

Here's how I understand the answers we get from science regarding the big questions:

The primordial ooze came from the conditions present on earth during the time. Just recently they were able to recreate the ingredients of RNA in a lab based on conditions they think existed on earth when it happened. More information found here: www.wired.com/wiredscience/2009/05/ribonucleotides/

This freak accident only needs to happen once over the course of billions of years to get to where we are now theoretically that causes a spark of life or some kind of replicating process to get the process of natural selection and evolution going.

It's been theorized that most matter in the universe is dark matter which causes matter to come into existence. According to the big bang theory, what existed in the beginning was only hydrogen which is why it is the most common element found in the universe since it only has one electron and one proton. Over time the hydrogen atoms came together because of the gravitational attractions between them causing them to heat up and become stars.

As the hydrogen atoms kept being pushed together this caused nuclear fusion causing heavier elements to be created and shot off from the star during solar flares. Eventually those atoms came together forming planets.

People often continue to question about where this came from, where did that came from until the person has no answer or no answer they are willing to accept unless it's something they want to hear like saying god did it. I'd call that an appeal to ignorance.

It's ok to wonder, though.
As long as you don't make stories that fly
in the face of the observed. Meta
physics is beyond known physics.

Metaphysics are dead man, Kant showed us that, or at least in the sense your going about it.

No one's interested if God made the Garden, the Big Bang, or the primordial ooz. This kind of apriori reasoning just makes bad philosophy.
