if we were to discover why things exist, regardless of faith or understanding, would that change how we plan for and think of tomorrow?

would we know the reason for our existence, if science prevailed?

Yes possibly your right Wired...

I can't decide this, all the answers are worth a piece of the pie. Amazing though both atheist and theist agree something would be different.

We would know why we are here and our purpose.

Many people think they know why, and it does seem to affect how they operate, so my answer is "yes".
I think there is no "why", that "why" is a human issue, not a universal or Divine issue, so there is no universal "why" that would make sense to a limited, mortal human.

possibly, although as you said, "regardless of faith or understanding" so if we didnt understand it, it probably wouldnt change anything, but for those who could understand it, it would probably change everything.

we are here to help one another, to protect this planet for we were made stewards of it, nothing else in the heavens or galaxies will be given to us until we can manage our own...

It depends on the 'why'. However, regardless, I'm sure it would create a whole lot of change if we ever knew for sure.

If we knew that, tomorrow would be irrelevant today.
