I think we must believe there is more to existence than this prief moment of earth life and that each of us are a unique eternal individual person. We probably can't understand it all because our brains our just not wired for this understanding, just like, say, a chimp's brain is just not wired to do math or science on our level. I feel there must be more and than it is sort of an evolutionalry spritual thing that really expands after death. This gives me at least some hope and it just feels good.

I'm going to make, what may be perceived as a dumb question, but in history didn't man originally think the earth was flat and ships would fall off the edge, yet the thought we are the only ones has expanded over the centuries to learn of other countries/peoples, to travel into space and to be able to speak with people we will never meet maybe the spark is just growing?

Well if my theory is correct and I believe it is... We are a large/small spark in the universe and we will as a race grow and evolve beyound our wildest dreams. That is of course if we can survive GWBs admin... I dont believe we will wink out and even if we do its still a wonderful thing to have existed at all and our memory will always remain in the universe in some way shape or form.

To say we are a tiny spark is not quite the same as saying we're nothing more. The first describes our apparent relationship to the vast unknown universe. The second presumes knowledge about the universe that we don't have.

In the vast cosmos of the universe we may be a tiny spark in the universe, but we have meaning and purpose. Its the perspective you take on it. All life has meaning, to an ant we have the stature of gods, to God we have the stature of ants. It is not our time in the universe, its what we do with it.

No there has to be more than that. If we are really just a "blip on the radar screen of time" thats meaningless! The problem now is that humans can assign meaning to other things but not to themselves. There has to be an outside source.
Philosophys greatest problem is death.

Yes just like the hotness and coldness of our emotions, which are ever changing; though, they be the same at a given moment.

"God dwells within you as you." You have union with God within your heart in unconditional love. As the colors of the rainbow are contained within sunshine, so to are all things contained within the unconditional love of God. In the end all things will merge back from whence it came, as a drop of water into the ocean.

Everything eventually dies, even our sun.
