Speculating on some big questions


Do we have both freedom and determinism and is that not a paradox? It seems that we are determined in the larger actions and we have freedom in the smaller actions of life, that is, freedom of life works within the parameters of a larger determinism.

Is there a beginning or end of time? It seems that time has always gone on and will always continue, connected to evolving life.

Does the cosmos imply a creator? There seems to be no beginning to time and no beginning to the cosmos, so there seems to be no creator of beginnings. But there is the activation of material life by the supermaterial Spirit-Will, and then the shaping of life by evolution.

Can consciousness come out of basic chemistry? The drive to live and reproduce successfully and to evolve, activated by the Spirit-Will within life, eventually evolves consciousness in living matter as a better means to survival success, and ultimately to evolve life to Godhood.

---Exactly proving these things with positivist science is not yet possible, but may be, especially if we increase our intelligence in the future.
