The purpose of life
Religion claims it knows the purpose of life. From the scientific perspective, life possesses no built-in purpose. Humans are products of natural processes that operate without intention or foresight, and evolution explains how life changes and persists, not why it should exist at all. When perspective widens beyond this planet, even the idea of human centrality collapses. We occupy a small corner of an ordinary galaxy in a universe that gives no sign of caring whether we exist or vanish. This understanding is not nihilism but honesty, for it accepts what evidence reveals rather than what comfort desires.
