First of all I would like to say that I do not believe in religion as it creates separatism among our fellow human beings. I do believe in a creator and in the holy scriptures which have been hijacked by these religions.

Anyway you ask can science solve this. I believe it is starting to as knowledge is currently expanding faster than it ever has in the past. I think there are two questions you have to ask yourself. Has the universe and everything we see around us including ourselves been created from several starting points or has it evolved starting from chemical reactions?

Here is a video about scientist opinions based on past and present discoveries. You can now make your own decision based on science if you wish:

There is probably going to be opposing groups to all kinds of stuff.

Life currently looks like it's therein of a number of different possibilities
to do with whence it came and how it is to be.

In the event that current life is from "man-made" origins then once it is
all unravelled it will look like "how it all be".

Where it is all directed at could be more to the point.

It's all directed at ourselves.

What's the beginning of everything got to do with anything?

Are you still in the womb where you began? If what's there behind that womb
is contrairy to you being, where are you going to herald it to your living on?

Looks like everything would have a beginning. There isn't anything that stays
at the beginning.

Is there no what comes of everything since the beginning?

Just because they believed something different? And what about Scientology? If you haven't looked into it you really should, quite amazing stuff (look up the RPF in scientology). Or those crazy people who won't let there kids go to the doctor because "GOD" will heal them? and then they die. Not to mention the birth of satanic churches and satan worshipers. Why in the hell would you worship satan? That's like worshiping paper cuts. Oh and by the way, christians are the craziest ones of all...

HAPPY DAY!

There isn't anything that's for everyone. Differing ways could very well always
be between factions. Even within factions of the same way makes for a
revolution amongst themselves. Go figure.

We have no clue how any of this came to be.

We have theories and having theories implies that we don't know the truth.

Until such time as one of these theories can be proven as truth, all we have are theories.

We don't know how WE, humans, came to be.

We have theories and having theories implies that we don't know the truth.

Until such time as one of these theories can be proven as truth, all we have are theories.

We don't know what happens to us when we die.

We have theories and having theories implies that we don't know the truth.

Until such time as one of these theories can be proven as truth, all we have are theories.

So, the moral of the story is this.

We are here and then we are there and in between that time love your fellow man and be the best that you can.

That makes it so much easier while living this life of mystery.

Weird.

First of all you say "not true" as far as Christians being the craziest of all....
What's gone on in the past of Christian religion is loosely applied to them.

Secondly referring to yourself as a Christian appears to be only in the way of
being your automatic response to what religion are you affiliated with.

You can't call it a religion because it was created by man. Check wikipedia Scientology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and the definition of religion is "1.a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, esp. when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs." unless Hubbard was superhuman?

Your vague view of Scientology, Jehovah's Witness and Mormonism seems to
come from having been impressioned upon you from along your way so far.

Wikipedia does not directly refute Scientology. The answer to your question
at the end is in your post. The frame of mind at play here.

All beliefs seem to have truths that are takeable to. There may not be one
in particular that covers everything. To each his/her own.

Once you have come to know God, you may have a different opinion...which in itself can not be proven by anyone but you. Man has faith(he creates) for purposes that trump science. Science has yet to prove...or disprove God. At least in my opinion.

Body and mind are interconnected but the mind will reach out further than
the body can. The mind can surpass the body. The mind can also succumb
to the body.
