  3. ​ @dzcav3  From my perspective ... religion only exists because of humans ... and if humans were to go extinct ... religion immediately would be extinct and life would carry on for other animals ... as occurred before humans evolved from those other forms of life. Religion is myth ... and myths do not answer the scientific questions of life. Because I don't believe the universe was created ... my response to your questions come from a scientific point of view. # 1 ... We evolved as did all forms of life ... from tiny organisms. # 2 ... We are story-telling animals. # 3 ... Our purpose (as occurs with all animals) is to live and to die. # 4 ... We all have different lives and deal with what occurs in our lives from different perspectives. # 5 ... Stories of souls reaping positive or negative experiences in afterlives ... are religious myths ... and religious myths are NOT scientific. Scientists do not teach theories about humans having afterlives. They leave that to the theologians ... whose imaginations go off the chart ... wild with enthusiasm. From the book … STORYTELLING … author … Brad Jones This book is about the primate Homo fictus (fiction man), the great ape with the storytelling mind. You might not realize it, but you are a creature of an imaginative realm called Neverland. Neverland is your home, and before you die, you will spend decades there. If you haven't noticed this before, don't despair: story is for a human as water is for a fish--all-encompassing and not quite palpable. While your body is always fixed at a particular point in space-time, your mind is always free to ramble in lands of make-believe. And it does.
