when we are observing the world around us, we straight away start to make asumptions, i.e. when I scream "mother" feeds me when I go to bed at night the sun will be up in the morning. Now as our view of the world grows we start to ask questions like why do things happen, often, and very often a satisifactory theory is way beyond us, however we will continue to live and acumulate data, as we get more data and as we try new views of looking at the world, we may eventually develope a theory that fits.
Isn't it interesting - here we are in this vast amazing universe throne into life without understanding whats going on, how can we believe that we could possibly concieve of what it's all about.
And yet we were given the ability to imagine, to use logic, to develope, but with no underpinning meaning to our development, one that is true, one that is pure, and one that is the same throughout the entire universe how can we be sure that our changes, our developments, will save us in the future. because the world is changeing, it is travelling down a path to our future and if we are not prepared we will die!
Einstein new this, he was looking for this truth too but it seems that he thought he could do this just by looking at the box, this is not enough, the box do'es not tell you the intentions of the creator.
Eventually he died, who knows what's next, yet others continue in his work they believe the future of mankind is in mastering the world. he will never do it. it is right that man master's the world, but in the right way, because in the end whom doe's it belong to anyway.
Let me make this point again, the present cannot tell you the future with absolute certainty, only someone from the future can really do that.

Faith

Faith is this is fundamental to truth and therefore how we view the world visavis those who are delluded will view the world according to thier delusion's.
AHH you say, but I have guessed what you believe, and I believe that you are deluded, weeEELLLL, now them, the question is thus how do we get to what we believe, how do we deteremine truth.
This is a Philosophical question, and is ESSENTIAL to LIFE, note:Philosophy is therefore essentially useful and PRACTICAL.
EVERYTHING requires faith,
AT the most basic level what think about ourselves, and the world around us is purely based upon our minds and our senses.
when i say senses, i am reffering not only to touch taste smell etc
but to our feelings because our emotions are real and are a part of us as much as an arm or leg.
Mamy people have talked about love for instance, this is an incredibly powerful emotion, and drives people to extreme adventures, many people who have fallen in love, have said that they could not live without the object of thier love.
getting late will continue ASAP.
