Throughout my life I've struggled to find meaning. I've wondered, am I alone in this? I'd like to hear what others have to say. Particularly others that are more knowledgeable in philosophy.

On the one hand, we have an omnipotent god that made everything. Is responsible for everything. All that.

On the other we have a bunch of atoms that randomly mashed together over billions and billions of years and eventually did things like paint the Mona Lisa and landed people on the moon

I, personally, find myself far more awestruck by the second scenario. And, yes, see the beauty in it. Truly.

Good luck in your search
