Life's Mystery

[nailit]

Why cant people just accept that life is a mystery without inventing religion to account for it?
My own personal journey has gone from being a 'born again' teenage Christian to looking into everything from spiritualism, various occult disciplines, different religious philosophies, eastern traditions to science, atheistic outlooks, humanism, philosophy etc. Jack of all trades and master of none.

Throughout my search and research, one thing is clear, we...just...don't...know. We don't know why we have consciousness or why we are here. We don't know why we exist! neither science or religion has the answers.
Why cant we just be content to admit that without inventing heaven and hells or afterlife scenarios that we just don't know.
Personally, I'm at peace with that. I'm happy to admit that I have not a clue about the mysteries of life or existence or of death and what follows (if anything).

And neither has anyone else!

"We don't know why we have consciousness or why we are here. We don't know why we exist! neither science or religion has the answers. "

I could have told you that when i was 3

you know it's an impossible question to answer, one we never will answer. If we did, that would defeat the whole point, so it would change the answer anyway.

or would it change the question, bit of both.
