I agree with you on the importance of the questions. Some might rephrase it "what is the meaning of life?" but the point is the same.

One might wonder what the purpose of a worldview would be if not to answer these questions. Acquire power? Certainly not to discover the truth since it tends to hide or deny the truth.

Indeed. Perhaps the purpose is to deny God by not looking?

if we were to take the three forms of truth suggested on this board: ie philosophical, theological, scientific--and x out scientific--which by definition is explicitely quantifiable...- Then I think it would be appropriate to say that in the cases of both theological and philosophical truth-- truth without love is not truth. Inversely, love without truth is not love.
