Wonderings 2

 

Mankind's Purpose

Here...  it gets a little tricky because we are dealing with several unknowns...

First - is there a creator?

Second - is this creator God as mentioned in the Bible?

Third - was our creation merely a result of natural evolution?

Fourth - did extraterrestrials alter our DNA to accelerate or modify our evolution?

Fifth - does our existence come with an afterlife?

Sixth - are there multiple dimensions?

Seventh - are there multiple universes?

Eighth - are there white holes just as there are black holes?

Nineth - do these white holes create new universes?

Tenth - if the universe creates its own temperature, is there entropy?

With each new generation of human beings, there is increased knowledge and awarenesses that leads the wanderer and the wonderer to develop new questions, especially when technology advances providing us with such tools as Artificial Intelligence.

Although AI is limited in its scope and awareness, it still has access to knowledge that the normal human being does not know exists such as advanced cosmology, or theoretical physics, or biometrics, robotics, or astronomy to name a few.

Purpose, like anything else, must have a beginning and an end...  a goal...  an endpoint...  that may not be death, if there is an afterlife...  although our purpose might change a little...  or for some, a lot.

If life is for 100 years and the afterlife is for infinity, then it is easily understandable that those two purposes in general will be different...  and even moreso, after factoring all our individual differences.

This will give you something to ponder until my next article.

Enjoy your wonderings and your wanderings.
