Okey dokes.

Most threads de-evolve into something other than there original intent.

I was pointing out the Rationalist point of view ultimately arrives at the dead end of what happens after one's death.

Science for all of it's mastery of classical physics, for it's conquering of Nature, for it's advancements, well ultimately my friend, it leads to nothing.

Why pursue knowledge, why seek to understand if there is no real purpose to it all?

Eventually our civilizations will turn to dust, our World will be swallowed up by gamma rays emitted by a dying Sun. All life on this orbiting rock will cease to exist.

I suppose future generations could inhabit other regions of the Universe...bearing in mind of course that the human vessel, our bodies are actually quite fragile. The radiation in space is quite deadly. Even with developing technology to achieve a "space-ship" capable of 50% of light speed. Any human cargo would never survive the journey outside of our own Solar System.

Ultimately humanity may have to resign itself to the fact that eventually our "footprint" in the Universe will be lost.

I believe Faith transcends this gloomy reality. It proposes a new reality outside of the observable one we enjoy everyday. Even grander, even more spectacular.

Of course, no one truly knows.

They don't call it Faith for nothing.

I believe each human life will be judged by God and that there is ultimate Truth and morality.

The wicked and the evil will suffer consequences.

it is however....... not my place to Judge.
