Says thought.
The 'how it all came about' was in reference to the universe, not the person. The fabrication of the person is fairly simple. Sense/object contact gives rise to sensation. The brain registers sensation (records experience) and the accumulation eventually becomes a sensation (the experiencer) itself. You are that accumulation which is what consciousness is. Purpose is an invention of thought, just like God and a personal afterlife.
As to your curiosity, perhaps when I was a child.

Who you are is much more then sensation and input. You are a Spiritual being, you innately long for something that is not attainable in this world. No amount of money, power, prominence, will ever satisfy what you are created for. History has shown you this over and over again. You long for something more, and you will never find fulfillment outside of God. Sure you may attain that wife, that house, that great career, but you will still have a void..because God created you with that void, that He can only fill.
The evidence for God is all around you, if you just open your eyes. Did you know fish don't know they are wet? Being surrounded by water, it is such a natural state for them, they are oblivious to their own wetness. You are like a fish completely surrounded by evidence for God — so much so that you take it for granted and are oblivious to it. Your body is formed of 30 trillion cells, most of which contain a vast and incredibly sophisticated code upon which they operate. Can you tell me how your first cell divided and differentiated and formed the amazing physical and being that is you? — and got most of the instructions correct? From the time you were a blastocyst, how did each of your cells communicate with one another and do the right things and go to the right places and become the right kinds of cells? I cannot overstate how amazing you are just as a machine.
Beyond your morphology, your ability to think and reason and calculate and enjoy (or hate) music and art and architecture and enjoy the company of a woman (or man, if that's your thing), to laugh and cry and rant and even sleep — the fact that you can even have a conversation about whether God is real or not — my goodness, look what you do with food, wow! (I just had bacon and eggs and toast with jelly and a glass of milk from a whole other animal.) We men are far, far different than the other animals. We may have this small similarity or that small similarity, but as a whole, we are far, far different than all of the other animals. Of the animals, God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures ..." but of Man, He said, "Let Us make Man in Our image ...". With the creation of Man, it was personal. You, Supramax, are the best evidence I could show you that God is real and that He cares for you.

Here's what it comes down to Supramax..suppose I'm wrong, and that everything I believe is just a fairytale..okay, so what. Believing what I do, it has made me be a better person, a better husband, a better employee, and employer, because I believe that i Have an accountability to someone far superior than any man or woman on earth. I believe that though I fear Him, I know that He loves me, and wants the best for me..so I will do whatever I must to love and obey His words..which do nothing but help and guide my life to be more fruitful in all things.
Now suppose you are wrong..do you understand the consequences and brevity of your choice in this regard?

Unfortunately for your sake, the consequences are not the same. We know the Universe was created, this can be shown mathematically/statistically in more ways then one. Life, you is far more then what you experience physically, even a child is aware of this..you are not a "good person" no one is, try as you might, you will fail.There is only One that is good, and we sub concisely know this, whether you want to admit it or not. If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be a word without meaning.

Ready XL Male Enhancement
Ready XL Male Enhancement – The drug ingredients in some ED supplements may interact with prescription drugs in harmful ways. For example, some of them may interact with drugs that contain nitrates, leading to a dangerous decrease in blood pressure. People with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease often take drugs containing nitrates, and men with these conditions frequently have ED.

What I told you is observable, but you have to look.
I quote myself from another thread: "There is nothing in the body to leave the body after the death of the body. There is the body and its thought process. The thought process gives direction to awareness via the illusion of a center of experience, but awareness does not radiate outwards from the body. Awareness is a field of intelligence that bodies are in. This is fact"
Now, I'll stop shooting arrows at the moon.

No, it's a lot more than that. Faith without works isn't enough kind of thing, if you've ever read the Bible.
I do find it funny how much the people who are most vocal about arguing against "imaginary things" care about this though. I don't believe in the tooth fairy, Easter bunny, or Santa Claus so if a grown adult starts telling me they exist I'm not going to argue with the guy because I know I'm right. I'll probably tell him cool story bro and move on with my life without giving two ****s what that dude thinks. I'm not going to sit there and argue with him all day unless I really want to believe they exist.

I don't think you really seek any truth whatsoever, I think you just want to be argumentative as your post history indicates.. I do hope I'm wrong in this regard, but I don't really want to enter a discussion with someone that just wants to argue..you did not quote me anyways..but if you are willing..give this a listen to. Hope you do, and I hope it helps answer some questions if you truly want to know
