We all woke up into this life, and are wondering what the hell is going on. A responsible person should investigate, think critically and make her best guess. I think that believing a pre-science compilation of mythology is not a good guess. What is a better guess?

I agree wholeheatedly with you, especially in regard to a pre-science compilation of mythology. The ironic thing is that for as bad as pre-scientific mythology has become, it at least shows a bunch of people in the past dealing with the world to the best of their abilities. This is something that we need to be doing. THEY didn't know about science, back when one "best of" compilation of myths and folktales or another was compiled. THEY didn't know half of what we do, at least on a technological level, but they did something that so few of us do today. They at least stopped and thought about the big riddles of life and lived according to what they discovered.
Today, we're more likey to just sit and let life pass us by without questioning any of it. We reject scientific advancements that would answer at least SOME of the questions we might have, and conversely, we reject the measure of existential responsibility that many pre-science myths tell us that we should embrace. So, in my opinion, the thing we should do is get up off of our collective butt and actually learn from the life that exists around us. Learn science, especially. It's because of science that I became a science fiction writer, and it's also because of science that I became more aware of OTHER elements of life. Science and scientific learning doesn't reduce anything in the universe. It does just the oposite; it opens the door into more mysteries, and more learning experiences, and well...I suspect that no matter how you slice it, life is about learning, life is about discovery FOR YOURSELF! and it's about BEING human and not just letting some social structure or religious book act as a kind of programming code that replaces free and reasonable thinking.

THAT's exactly what's going on "HELL", and only JESUS can set you FREE from all of it.
Ask JESUS to come into your HEART and SAVE you, from HELL and all of it's Trimming's (is there an echo in here?)
HE WILL. HE LOVE"S everybody.
The TRUTH (JESUS) will set you FREE. Ditto....
