I must admit, I don't know why I am here.

Does anyone?

There is no reason why anybody is here, we are all just one big evolutionary and biological accident.

Why does there need to be an answer to the question "Why?" If you really think there must be a "reason" that can and should be articulated, then maybe you should look into the various religions to offer you an "answer".

Whatever the circumstances of our origin, and without any convincing information about a creator being having contacted us with an answer to the "Why?" question, I think life is a wonderful [albeit finite] opportunity to explore ourselves and our environment and to enable our successors to do the same. I'm loving it, ups and downs and all.

Asking the "Why?" question is all very well and good, but I personally don't think spending too much of this finite opportunity's timespan is the best way to proceed.

But there could be.

My reasoning mind tells me so.

It is both a big opportunity, and terrifying prospect.

Either answer would do.

Both questions are interesting.

Suzianne claims to have been visited by an angel, but I doubt that she will write a book about it as she is reluctant to even talk about it.

Why would being an atheist preclude someone from wondering why they/we are here?

Atheists are arrogant.
They usually do NOT concern themselves with such things.

How dare you presume to say this here.

You've shown FAR more weakness in this forum than he has.
