living things can arise from non-living materials; for
example, worms, flies, or even mice could develop
from grain, meat, and other materials
 CREATIONISTS

god.

evidences, as proof of their belief.

the Bible

and purpose because it has an end.

will encounter at the end.
Many people are afraid of dying because it is the
final, irreversible state of reality that leads to
another path or journey. Since people desire
consciousness, memory, personhood, and love to
be experienced consciously, the unconscious
state of death becomes a fearful fate.

who have a high quality of life. All persons, regardless of
sociodemographic and personal factors, are capable of
discovering the meaning of life on their own.
