Our curiosity will grow when new evidence is discovered, and rate of discoveries will increase as our curiosity grows! The origin of the universe is a HUGE step back in time, so finding the real answer will definitely take much time.
So basically you can never count on finding the real answer scientifically.

My answer was: "Do we need a point to live? Does grass in the yard have a point to live?" Haha, I felt good as a puzzled look came across his face!
What will grass do in life? How does he decide?
And what will you do in life amongst all the options? How do you decide? It's different when things can consciously think, isn't it?

If a human exists for no reason and lives for no reason (nothing reasonable) - literally, will future generations even remember that person (the hope [of fame] that many atheists have claimed)? Sounds like he'll be an example to live by for at least one little grimlin.

Do all people fail in the eyes of God according to the belief system you reference? Must be no, if some are "saved".

Huh, what?

So if Leonardo creates something in the image of a human, then the painting must be rational, emotional, etc? - otherwise humans aren't rational, emotional, etc?

Actually, if God allowed innocent people to die (in every way - physically, spiritually) - then your argument would stand. But innocent physical lives can be lost without logically preventing God from being loving, so long as God does not destroy souls. The concept of the soul logically allows God to be "3/3".
