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. Again, the point I’m making is that all the possible answers to the big questions including why we exist, have absurdities somewhere, yet one of them is likely correct. This…

As a reminder, “The Grand Enigma” is my term for the truth that we and the cosmos exist and each plausible answer as why we exist has, what seems like, absurdities.
