What is the biggest Question?

Who we are and what are we doing here?
Is there a God?
Do we know what we really know?
Do we know what we really need to know?
Who we are?
These are the few questions that arise in the minds of people and many often we just give up while looking for these answers. Many generations and civilizations have just passed like time, without any answers to these questions.
People remain so involved and busy in their day-to-day affairs that they do not feel importance of these basic questions.
In this vast universe of non-living things life in itself is quite strange. Although many scientists have contributed in issue of ‘the origin of life’ still we know very little about it and many other issues which we many have never ever thought of.
The humans have a very inquisitive and logical mind that has made our day-to-day life quite simpler and progressive. Since past we have tried to find answers to the normal and strange phenomenon around us, and I need not to say that we have been quite successful. Still I would repeat that do we really know ‘all’. What is ‘all’? What is absolute? These are the questions that have stayed since past.
In the past when rain and clouds were considered as God and thunder, lightening, diseases, famine and droughts were considered as evil or God’s anger. Now man is fighting with the evil forces of nature and has reduced them significantly. So does that mean that God’s span of power has weakened? When we are in tough situations we remember God. Even during Football matches people simultaneously pray to God. Consider a situation where both team fans pray in large numbers so if God really listens to the prayer of their devotees then to whom will He/She will listen to. Will it be the most needy ones? Then why do we have poor and needy since ages?
My questions still remain many and same.
What is the biggest question?

Let that which stood in front go behind, let that which was behind advance to the front, let bigots, fools, unclean persons, offer new propositions, let the old propositions be postponed.

Already tried Ebay. There isn't a big following for this artist, so buyers don't know the true value. I bought it 7 years ago for $300 and need to sell stuff for some quick extra cash. I've never taken it out of the tube and have to believe that there is an art dealer that buys back stuff like this?

Anybody know of anyone???

Say I am trying to get an HDR of skyscrapers at night. If I get the buildings to look nice, the sky generally ends up looking orange and grainy.

ok im supposed to write a rough draft for my essay and the draft is due tomorrow. The suject we are supposed to write about is "the perfect day" and the purpose is descrptive. for those who dont know what that is, its an essay that describes something or an experience. it includes all the senses, like describing the smell, look, touch, sound, etc about the topic. and for my essay i dont want to just blabber on about a perfect day with everytihing my way cuz its unrealistic, unorininal, and that day will never happen. i often like to think outside the box but im totally blank. So do you have any ideas? .

this is my take, the natural world is generally explained by math and logic, but since the supernatural is NOT "natural", therefore it can't be explained using logic and reason, am I correct?
