I'm all for striving to produce the accomplishments we have made over time that have improved our lives in so many ways. I'm no flat earther and put a lot of trust in science for improving our lives and finding facts. The problem is that we're terribly unhappy and unfulfilled. In the US, teenagers are committing suicide at increasing rates. People are using drugs at increasing rates in order to escape this "wonderful" life which those great individuals have provided for us. Evil and mentally ill people are shooting others just "because". People are killing themselves working long hours at strenuous jobs just to make more money to buy more things that don't do anything to help resolve that inner yearning for meaning. And this is all we have? Peace comes from God and knowing that there is more to existence. We must have God in the equation. Existence isn't complete without the inclusion of the spiritual realm. It doesn't come from mindlessly following a religion, but rather to opening oneself to God's leading. The universe isn't here just "because". The universe exists for a reason.
Now is the moment when you start telling us how you make your own life have meaning.
No this is the moment where I start telling you that God IS in the equation, and that's the chief source of the trouble.
