Meh. "I believe every view has to answer the basic questions: Who are we? Where do we come from? How shall we live? Is there meaning to life?"
I'm not sure any view is able to reliably answer any of those questions. How many times have we heard apologists come here and tell us they KNOW the answers to these questions because they BELIEVE the bible? Having an answer is hardly the same thing as having an adequate answer. But here are my answers.
We are critters on the planet earth. We come from the primordial soup along with the others. Circumstances keep making the how shall we live question moot. I believe there is a meaning but it must be discovered by each individual; it doesn't, however, have to be any big deal (see again the answer to the who are we question).
