☼ Thanks to the historians, The biologists, the psychologist, the archaeologists, the anthropologist, and other branches of scientists, we are now beginning to appreciate and understand the universe a little bit with our new found knowledge, which painfully we have gathered in the last few hundred years.
The earth is like a big MNC where a CEO has been appointed. That CEO is man. Man is in charge of the biggest business – that of the business of evolution. Whether man wanted to be appointed as the CEO is not the matter, the fact remains unchanged that he cannot rebuff the job. Whether he wants the job or not, whether he is conscious of what he is doing or not - he is as a matter of fact influencing the future course of evolution on this earth. It is predestined and this providence is unavoidable. He has to realize this and start believing in it.

☼ All existentialists are of the belief that the human life has been attached with wretchedness in one form or the other – poverty, starvation, disease, ill health, over work, cruelty, oppression, stress, strained relationship, trauma, anxiety, agony, etc. Life has generally been nasty, brutish and very short. The great majority have died young. The have endeavoured to alleviate their misery by means of optimism and their ethics.
The problem is that their optimism has not been vindicated and their ideals and ethics have by and large failed to match up with reality.

☼ The meaning and purpose of religion in our society is to deal with the problems of fate – the providence of the human specie, of our societies, of the different countries and the world.
Religion gives rise to the concept of god hypothesis. Religion and god has been erected by man to help him understand what our existence is all about. Man forthrightly have announced that god is the ultimate reality. By doing so he not only cheats himself but also becomes very indistinct, helpless and futile.
A day will arrive when this god hypothesis will shortly draw closer to an end and will scientifically not be accepted. It will become an intellectual and moral burden to our thoughts. It will no longer convince and comfort us. Soon after disposing off the theory, it will bring us a deep sense of relief. Discarding the theory of god does not mean that we will abandon religion and morality. Once we dispose of the outdated ideological concept, we may then go ahead by constructing something more valuable to take its place
