Document Summary
No guarantee it"ll continue, could collapse into itself, black hole and cease to be. Big bang (raises more questions then solves)- if there was nothing and then suddenly there was something created by this big bang, what exactly went bang- how do u get something out of nothing. A plan?- whether or not there was a creator, or is that something that we are projecting, something without a reason. Does the existence of the universe and it sails admit any rational explanation. We believe there is something, but why is there something rather than nothing. The alternative to a universe would be nothingness - a void. Why do i exist? different from do i exist? . But all humans are mortal (important to us to think we made a difference) but we are nothing but a spec. All traces of your efforts and accomplishments will vaish. Finding the meaning of our lives must reference something behind life itself.
