If there was never religion, what would you think life experience is about? Is this it? Is life just about working at a job, being a law-abiding citizen, having sex and kids, a social life, hearing about or watching each other die and paying taxes? Even though the experience of it is short-lived, is life about being happy and its pursuit? Why are we here, why are we alive? Why is there something rather than nothing? Why is there motion as opposed to stillness? Why is life like this, why is it the peculiar way that it is? What is really going on here? Why are we forced to live on this sphere that is tumbling through the darkness, with no idea of where we are going? Even if it makes sense that all the other creatures are here, why are we here, the sole creature capable of all the engineering feats that we have accomplished? Why do we share some similarities to the other creatures, yet are so distinct in capability? Why are some of our bodily functions involuntary, how come they are not all voluntary and since we do not control our brains, nor our hearts, does that not mean that fundamentally, our bodies control us more than we do them? Why does being alive feel like a twisted joke, at times? Are there aliens? Does life have meaning or purpose, is there something deeper going on? Why is there death? What happens to us after we die, is there an afterlife? Is there a G0d? Though many of these questions and more have tormented the minds of human beings since our emergence so many centuries ago, especially since the appearance of homo sapiens, in this work, we take a practical approach in an earnest attempt to bring them to ultimate resolution.
