Now that zodiac has stepped aside, allow me to take up the question, “Why are we here?” which I have asked many times. My childhood answer was simple – because God put us here for His pleasure. Occam says my childhood answer is simple and satisfying, but that it may not be true in view of other answers that science may someday provide. If that is true, there may be no reason for our being here other than the result of nature, however that comes to be known.

For me to ask why I am here is like a chicken asking why it is in a cage, provided with all it needs until its timely death. That answer is in the mind of intelligence the chicken cannot comprehend. Likewise, if we are here for a reason, it is beyond our ability to understand, unless our maker decides to tell.
