Beschreibung
This book is about the purpose of life, survival. Throughout human history this has been the most important and most fundamental issue. Our ancient ancestors thought a lot about this and developed explanations to make their efforts manageable and to provide other benefits such as support, morals, ethics, belongingness, and immortality. These explanations formed religions that continue to dominate societies; however, they have not kept up with modern experiences and research findings, and they have lost many of their benefits.
Many of the current world's problems would be alleviated if we once again thought about this fundamental issue, and if our media, politicians, and educators emphasized this topic rather than the current emphasis on consumerism, power, and violence. Studies of history reveal a pattern of continuing development of nature. From the "big bang" when minute forces self-organized into atoms, then molecules, organisms, plants, animals, and humans. This pattern indicates a design and purpose of increasing complexity and sophistication that may develop life's ability to survive the eschaton predicted by most religions and the ultimate global warming predicted by science.
