Hello all,

I have a fairly basic question which is hard to answer with certainty, but I appreciate any input. As almost all of us do, at some point, I am curious as to the origins of the universe and what is behind it all. The meaning of life, so to speak.


I have a fairly scientific background (Veterinarian) and have held a firm belief in evolution and explaining away 'why we are here' by random circumstance because the earth is where it is. I (frankly, reluctantly) accompany my wife to church a few time a month and the pastor recently said something that got me thinking.

Before I write this, understand, I am thinking about where we are in the perspective of everything, outside our universe. If I were to be able to travel to the edge of the most distant star, what is out there...The pastor discussed time and mentioned that god created time and knows (and created) all. If you apply that to outside our universe, and the physics of time, this makes sense to me based on the BASIC understanding I know. It seems there could be a man behind the curtain sort of thing. The concept of life on earth seems almost intentional when you consider our atmosphere, magnetic field, rate of core cooling, distance from the sun, etc.

Sorry for the long question. Basically, I am searching for meaning to my life. I am looking for proof that I am a mass of material that occurred by randomness.
