BIG QUESTIONS

This was ny little philosophical moment, im not entirely sure what brought it on......


Big Questions.
What makes me, me? Its such an odd question, but seriously, who am i? It occurs to me that i actually know so little about myself. My own view of me, has to spring in part, not from truth or reality but from a platonic conception of myself. Platonic conceptions are human- we create them all the time, but then that in itself begs the question, what is a human? How do we answer that? Where do questions come from? Do we question because we are human, or are we human because we question? In part, while i have an extreme interest in psychology and human behaviour and everything concerning it I will admit that at the start i chose to pursue psychology because my curious mind wanted answers and in my naieve state i expected psychology to give me those answers that i couldnt seem to get hold of, but it cant because there isnt ever an answer that is set in stone, because nothing is ever static. Its an irony that i cannot ignore, as humans the majority of us spend so much of our lives asking questions in search of answers, yet when they find the answers all it ever seems to do is generate more questions. Are we supposed to search for answers, or are we supposed to just go with it? Do answers come from religion or science? Both, though undeniably different, are also strikingly similar- 2 sides of the same coin, both are ways of making sense of the world that we live in. But then thinking of science and religion i find myself having to ask more questions. Science dictates that noting can come from nothing, something has to be there for something to come from it. But for me this isnt adequate, If God created the universe, then we would have to assume that God was already there which is illogical and not plausible as science has already dictated that something cant come from nothing so this doesnt explain how God came into existence in order to create the universe as he would have had to come from nothing. In this respect, science disproves its own theories, because even by using the big bang theory, at one point there had to have been the first ever thing in the universe, but under the notion that something cant come from nothing this too is wrong as surely the first ever fraction of the universe had to come from nothing or else there wouldnt have been a something created in the first place.
