“The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” gave us the answer to the ultimate question, the meaning of life, the universe and everything. Of course, it was 42! But the problem was no-one knew THE ultimate question, so there’s still a puzzle…

Most of us, if we find a moment in our busy modern lives to consider the big questions of life, will say that we’d like answers to:

 

  • - Where did it all begin?
  • - Where did I come from?
  • - Why am I here?
  • - What’s my purpose while I'm here?
  • - What happens after I die?

 

And then there are the other, perhaps deeper, questions like:

 

  • - What is truth?
  • - How do we find the right moral code for life?
  • - Are there ethical absolutes?
  • - Does God exist?

 

Oh, and the old chestnuts of:

 

  • - Do extraterrestrials really exist?
  • - Is warp drive possible?
  • - Why can’t we predict the weather?
  • - Is time an illusion?
  • - What's reality anyway?

 

It seems that in our amazingly technological, information superhighway world we have vast quantities of knowledge, huge amounts of data and endless streams of opinions, yet still have no real answers to these big questions of life.

Well, no surprise to you I am sure, I am persuaded that we can look into the Bible and find some of these answers.
