We all strive to understand our world. Most of us ponder the meaning of existence and search for purpose in our lives. The answers we seek are not easily found, for the wisdom needed to do so is not easily acquired. It is not fruit that can be plucked from a tree, but a mountain that must be climbed. The climb involves an ongoing search for truth about our world and ourselves. It is in the spirit of such a search that this book is offered for your consideration. It is a scientifically-grounded journey in search of the meaning for the existence of life, of our species and, indeed, the existence of everything. The Journey begins with an exploration of our Universe; that which encompasses all of existence. It is a search for indications of the meaning of that existence. On the way, the Journey reviews the evolution of life, culminating with an examination of the strengths and weaknesses of our own species. Key challenges are identified that we all must face if we want to thrive (and perhaps even to survive) on this earth; within this Universe. These challenges must be met if we are to realize the most compelling meaning for our existence. Hopefully, the Journey within this book will serve as either the beginning, or the continuation, of a never-ending search for those seeking to understand some of the most important truths about our existence.
