Science, belief and faith

why are you looking for a beginning of the universe? And at the other end, when we hear these dreamers talking about the end of the world, you want their objection: “Why do you think there is a general destruction or what I know.” In other words: “Why do you think there is a beginning and an end?

The universe is not in itself, man is not in itself he exists only in their relationship, a relationship that is no a science and will ever be exhaust. That is with nourishes us, this is what phenomenologist have called the “existential angst,” which is nothing more than a consciousness of this circularity is that it is ourselves who pose the problems we are trying desperately to solve. However, if this anxiety is the result of the risk and doubt that the man brought in the world, how can he escape to it? By faith, meet some people who have a religious option, live it as a consolation -or healing- of their concern.
