Eternity! Eternity PAST and Eternity Future. IF such exist, and there is no real proof that it doesn't then time really is negated. How do you measure time against Eternity. It can be argued that we all had a start but there is no way to define Eternity whether looking back (past) or looking ahead (future) as these are concepts that the human (limited) mind cannot comprehend.
We all will spend eternity somewhere and with such great consequences would it not be at least "intelligent" to consider all alternatives rather than ceremonially dismissing that which you don't know or understand, aka, the Spiritual.
Hmm... In my experience... Most spiritual people are spiritual because they can't, don't or won't understand what makes sense to "scientific-thinkers."
However I do entertain the possibility that there could be some "master plan" or at least a "set-and-forget" plan for us. I DO believe it's unlikely, but I guess it could be possible.
I don't have a lot to go on about finding answers except for ultra-religious simpletons and zealously bleating sheep.
Oh yeah...and old guys who are nearing the end of the ol' "sin track" and now they wanna get into "heaven."
I guess I'll just stick with the attitude I've been using. "I reckon I'll find out when I get there. Meanwhile, I'll just keep trying to do the next right thing."
Yeah, I'm guessing too. Just like you are. 'Cept I didn't get a hit off that Burning Bush(tm) and a copy of King James' Fairy Tales first.
