I just have to say...
After reading some of the comments on here, it is so surprising to me how many people actually go out of there way to be so negative, passive-aggressive, and demeaning towards each other. Actually, no, on second thought, it's not all that surprising, sadly. :( It just still affects me every time I think about it. I'm not here to judge anyone or their beliefs. Although, I AM human and I do sometimes judge when I have allowed someone to affect my emotions, I will admit that. But I honestly believe that should never be anyone's purpose in life.
All I will say on the matter is this:
I do not know where I came from, and I do not know where I'm going (when I say "me" I mean the conscious part of me that is thinking and typing this thought onto the computer screen; the part of me that will no longer be on this Earth when this body dies and decays-whether that be because it seizes to exist or not is not the point), if I do go anywhere, that is. But I do know that some of the history that I learned as "fact" as a child, is now said to be something else. And I do know that many of Science's theories are constantly being challenged and never proven to be exactly right. There seems to be new things coming up all the time that say, "well this person said that, and that's what we all thought to be true, and it sort of was, but actually there's this OTHER part we just found out about," which can change people's perspective enough to be able to find room for the newly discovered "Scientific fact," while not straying too far from their original arguments. Although, sometimes, when this happens people actually do have an "epiphany," and start reorganizing their thoughts completely and gain a whole NEW perspective. It happens ALL...THE...TIME.
I'm being very vague with what many of you might argue to be my "evidence," but I'm doing that on purpose because THAT IS THE WHOLE POINT. WE KNOW NOTHING OF THE HOWS AND WHYS OF THINGS; just that they are what they are. Oh believe me when I say that I can go out and find biased and/or open-minded articles that seem to be evidence of something, but really, it isn't. I can refine "evidence" to suit my arguments and find plot holes in anyone's counter-argument until my dying day, just as many other people here on Earth have gotten so skilled at doing.
That's a whole other topic, however, and so staying with my original point to this post: all I know is that I am here now. Whether or not I will ever NOT be here, I'm not even sure of that. I have NO IDEA what the future holds. But again, what I DO know, is that I AM HERE. NOW. I don't know how I got here, but I know I (this body) didn't put myself here. My parents put my body here, as their parents did for them. But they did not put my mind here, for if they had, my father could have easily made it to think like his so we could get along better throughout my childhood. But he didn't. I have my own mind that forms it's own opinions and thoughts based on what I know or what I THINK I know. And all we really "evidently" know is our past, personal experiences, that we have witnessed first hand and the fact that we are here now, in this moment. That is all we really know. :)
