Discuss n's answer to: So the million dollar question is: how do we ...

What we do know (and we add to this knowledge every minute) is that we are here on this one planet, and we know there is a much larger as well as much smaller universe that also exists. 

 I see an energy involved  in all of it, and I see a Creative Spirit at work here, and there, in the infinitesimal as well as the whole. 

 Understanding comes through inspiration and education.  Both.  

Those who decide to ignore their own intuitive inspiration and see only the educational/scientific side, have my sympathy, as well as those who decide to go only on intuition  for their reasoning. 

There is a vastness to all of it, which we will never be able to comprehend completely, because that energy is too much for us to understand. 

 Some of us call it God.  God is Spirit.  Not "a" spirit. 

 Spirit, Holy and Divine and God is Love.  I found that in the Bible, when I was seeking answers.
