Why do humans ask questions we know we cant resolve?

Answer 1

Because there was a time before man fell into sin and was cut off from God that we knew all things, and there's a universal longing for Heaven and for a day in which every question will be answered by God. We were created to KNOW. It's built into us by God. You dont see monkeys and donkeys asking "ultimate" questions do you?

Ecclesiates 3:10 God has put eternity in mans heart...
So we search with an eternal longing for an Eternal God.

Otherwise why would finite beings concieve of an Eternity they have never experienced? Why would imperfect beings even THINK to long for perfection? Those thoughts dont seem to be logical. I know there are a few scattered atheists that say they dont but 99% of the planet thoughout history HAS in one way or another longed for these things.

Naturalism might predict computers that "process" (at best) but NOT people that think and asks questions!

Jesus encouraged this: He promised that every sincere asker gets an answer.

Matthew 7 :7-11 “Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.
9 “You parents—if your children ask for a loaf of bread, do you give them a stone instead? 10 Or if they ask for a fish, do you give them a snake? Of course not! 11 So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him.

James 1:5-8
If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. 6 But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind. 7 Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. 8 Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do.

Answer 2

The need to ask questions is inherent in nearly all humans, just look at a little kid, what's it's favorite word? "Why?" As we get older, we run out of questions and are left with the ones that may or may not have answers.

Answer 3

How do we know we can't resolve a question without asking it?

Also over time - many questions that once seemed unresolvable later became resolved.

Answer 4

i know it is pointless sometimes to seek an answer to a question that cannot be resolved. but then what i believe is, by asking we arrive at the best possible understanding of the situation or thought.

Answer 5

My guess would be so psuedo-intellectuals can querry their motives.OR, it could be that we as humans are curious by nature, and the quest for more knowledge is a never ending voyage for the species, as a whole, individual results may vary.

Answer 6

I think answer for this question is that there is nothing real.
everything is subjective .

It Depends.

Experience > Perception > Action > Experience

cycle goes on and on.

Now when someone ask question he / she is looking for objective reality and thing is objective reality it self is dependent on something that is it is subjective .

Answer 7

Beacuase even from asking you self a question with no one to influence your answer you can teach yourself a hell of a lot even know u havent came up with the answer you were looking for

Answer 8

it is not the question we want to resolve it is the oportunities in finding solutions that can be resolved

Answer 9

Cause we humans naturally think that there is an answer on any question.

Answer 10

life grows, evolves, wars against itself, consumes itself, always moving ahead. it doesnt need a reason to live, it just lives. life is full of pain and love, growth and disease, it is infinitely complex, it folds upon itself, creating more complexity, it expands, it even reflects on itself and asks why, when there is no answer. life is full of comedy and tragedy, our brains try to make sense of it, to get a hold of it, but it cannot, if it tries it only creates a virtual reality that traps us. dive into your life with your whole being, dont be under the tyranny of your reasoning.
