While they can sometimes go hand in hand ( eg leading scientists have held christian beliefs and continued to be scientists) I think we all should have studied phiosophy and logic at school, so that we could think for ourselves about what it is to be human. The fundamental question of "why are we here" should rather be "why can we think" . The answers should be positive!!

The beautiful house can not stand alone had not the architect conceptualised,designed and built it so for his own satisfaction. If the double helix genetic code can be decipher through the binary or digital system, then we are just operating in the poor image of the one who conceptualised and designed it in the first place,are't We?
