These are the questions that haunt people day-after-day.

Six Major Theories of origin of Life
Special Creation
Spontaneous Generation - non-living matter comes to life
Catastrophism - life is created & destroyed continually over time
Panspermia / Spore Theory - from outer space / other planet
Eternity of Life - no beginning, no ending; always is
Modern Theory - non-living matter gives rise in primitive earth
You are not an accident in science, recycled metaphysical material, garden seed from space farmers, the essence of the universe, nor a product of evolutionary advancement.
You are a creation of God.
Solomon, the wisest man in history, speaks to the issue of reason for being and purpose in life.
If you answer the “why”, the “what” will answer itself.
The conclusion
When everything else in life is stripped away—among the values and vices of this world—man has a compound meaning.
Fear the Lord
“fear” means to venerate, show profound respect for; to show high status and honor to one in authority
Keep His commandments
“commands, commandments, obligations, traditions, terms”
Not necessarily following list of do’s and don’ts, but more about aligning oneself with God’s ways; a journey
“It is not the cowering fear of someone who has been abandoned in a meaningless life ‘under the sun’ but the reverant submissiveness of one who has truly found reconciliation with his Creator.”
—Jim Winter, Opening Up Ecc.
“This is the course in life which alone will give to man contentment and happiness.”
— James, Smith Wisdom Lit & Psalms
