I'm not so wise. As a matter of fact I'm kinda stupid. But I do know this. I didn't FIND God. He found me. God is as obvious as the nose on our faces. When we recognize the void in our hearts, and quit denying it, then we can respond to Gods call.

why what?
Why "everything", but in particular "Why THIS process?" or perhaps better stated, "Why do things work the way they do?"
The wisdom literature I've browsed seems to address the "what" and "how" to some extent, but there seems to be little as to "why".

whether you like it or not, the truth is something created god... i find it surprising you say that's a bad question, when it's a question that would give us so many answers...

my question would be "who created you?"... it's the most basic yet the most asked, i think if we knew that then we would know not only how the universe began, but why it did and - more importantly - why we're here and our reason for being here

Originally posted by RBHILLthat doesnt mean its right.... i could right a book and call it "why we're here" does that mean my beliefs in the book are true and shouldnt be debated; cant you look outside of the bible just for a minute? everything in life should be debated and questioned, yet it seems if it's in the bible we simply accept it and move on
