Maybe these are the two big questions.

[BackAgain]

1. Where did everything in the universe come from?

2. Since we will all someday be dead after only a brief very fleeting flash of time, is there any deeper meaning to life itself?

As to 1.: it is a huge question. Despite many years of deep thinking including scientific investigation going so far as implications from quantum physics, we still don’t know — and in truth we may never know.

As to 2.: was the creation of life itself an absolutely random cosmic level accident? And sentient life? It evolved, too, as an accidental by-product of the preceding accident? Possible. But likely?

I recently read somewhere that life is the universe’s way of trying to understand itself. That doesn’t make a great deal of intuitive sense in my estimation since it implies some level of intelligence in an inert universe But who knows?

I’m kind of curious though. Is it possible that the two questions I asked again in this thread are interrelated? And could that be true absent a religious basis?

Fuck you with this deep thought shit right now.
Anyone intrigued right now just ignore this post. I'm addled.
Not OP's fault.
He's talking tripping and laying in the road watching the trees breathe and the moon glow stuff.
What if our entire universe was a single grain of sand on a big beach for people magnitudes larger than we are?
Or, what if there were no people in that world, but we were still there. In that tiny grain of sand on that big beach? Us, the whole galaxy and everything. We would be like but atoms in that grain of sand.

Trees do breathe.

The glow of the moon is reflected sunshine.

Oh, and also, all those atomic and subatomic particles that make up the moon, the trees, the sun, the gasses which the trees “breathe” in and out and which we breathe (in and out) plus every part of your entire body came from stars.

And I haven’t had a drink nor even a gummy.

Yet.

(But I hate automiscorrect! )

What is a dentist?
Besides a jew guy that drills your teeth and fixes them?
In the past, my favorite dentist was a Jew. In the present, my favorite dentist is a Jew.
The old one retired a long time ago. Both know their stuff really good.
For Nostalgia sake I gotta go with the older dude. That and I think he probably was a bit better.
Not a whole lot. But really he was gifted at that stuff. Who else could distract you and make you laugh
while they jam a needle into your cheek and make ya talk funny.

A dentist is one of God’s people. Don’t be (wait for it Seinfeld fans) …

An anti Dentite.

1. - We don't know

Ask Heels Up. I'm sure it has something to do with the significance of the passage of time unburdened by the burdens that passed with time significantly. Beyond that--faith.
