I Have a Question

Why are we here? Where do we come from? Where do we go from here? What's the point in our existence if the creator doesn't need us? Why were we created? How can someone as in God, just always exist? Where does time start from? What was there before that? And what comes after? If we go to heaven and hell after death, what comes after eternity? How are we not bored of it all? How did the universe come into existence?

1) No consensus, but the question is, IMO, vitally linked with #4 (and is a rephrasing of #5).

2 & 3 are parts of #1

4) I think He does. (& this is just #1 or #5, in some sense)

#5 = #1

6) Idk. Since it is encoded in the Name of the Judeo-Christian God, I'm going with "it's part of the definition, for at least some notions of God".

7) unknown, but relativity says it is vitally linked/interwoven with space

8) "before" makes no sense if there is no time

9) see #8

10) ignoring the first clause, "eternity" is a notion like "infinity", but as applied to time. So NOTHING comes after eternity, bc it never ends.

11) Great q and (IMO) linked with #s 4 & 1/5.

12) Big bang, but that leaves more questions.
