I do think that sometimes people get a sense of the sacred in the physical universe, and wonder where that sense comes from, and ask themselves if there might be a divine source for the universe. It's more of an aesthetic question than a scientific question.

The other questions, like should I be egoistic or altruistic? be practical or romantic? pursue meaning or money? We answer those questions with how we live our lives, so I think it's good to talk about them and answer the consciously, as much as possible. Respectfully submitted.
