Life has many big questions, questions about our origins, meaning, and morals. There are other questions, but these are the big meta-questions. I had observed in my own journey that each of the possible answers have absurdities, yet one of them must be the most right one. Atheism and Meaning Over the years I’ve had…

Before I move forward, I need to complete a thought I raised in the previous post about origins. I mentioned that while biological evolution is obvious in both the fossil and DNA records, on the micro scale there are serious issues. The first problem is with abiogenesis. The second is in the area of transitional…

Since it has been some time since I’ve written on this topic, I must include clarifications. If one is honest, all possible answers to the big questions of how and why we exist end in absurdities, yet one must be ture (unless it was one no one has ever thought of). I was honest about…

If you are just joining this series of articles, please go back to the first one to see what I’m writing within the full context.

I have hemmed and hawed since the last posting of this series if I should continue. It appears that as of today, 93 people have read the last installment. That is a low number for this blog, yet gives me hope that it is important to someone. Each rambling I do is a risk for…

It came to my attention this week, after listening to progressive-thinking pastor, that for me to go forward in this discussion there is yet another important bridge that we must cross. As I listed the smorgasbord of possible world views, I realize that there is a very popular position among religious and nonreligious people alike,…
