"Who are we? Where are we? What are we? Why do we exist? How were we created? Who or what created us. And who created the creator?"



Wait a cotton pickin minute. We are grown up germs, sitting on the cog of one wheel of a vast cosmic machine, that is destined ultimately to blow itself up. Our origin is, as a grown up germ.... we come from meaninglessness.... from nothingness,... and our ultimate destiny is annihilation.

That is the kind of interpretation that arises in people having a philosophical or theological temperament.

That kind of thinking is really alien to science. Scientists are too busy solving solvable puzzles to spend much time worrying about philosophy.
