Solve these questions, Nobel winners

The only problem is, too many people today have developed a spirit of independence that leads them away from seeking answers to life's most perplexing questions. Questions like, why are we here on earth? Is this all there is? What happens to us and the earth once we're gone? Will we ever be able to see dead loved ones again?

For once, I wish the Nobel prize winners would consider these questions and solve them, or at least research them from different viewpoints. We may not be able to discuss these on BaM, but I sure hope Nobel winners do their research. 'Cause I have questions most people can't answer.

We may not be able to discuss these on BaM, but I sure hope Nobel winners do their research. 'Cause I have questions most people can't answer.As quoted directly from the article: "Nobel's will stipulated that the prizes, first handed out in 1901, should be given to those who "have conferred the greatest benefit on mankind" in their respective fields."

With all due respect, do you really think questions like, "...why are we here on earth? Is this all there is? What happens to us and the earth once we're gone? Will we ever be able to see dead loved ones again?"

...actually can be answered, and if so, that answering those questions will benefit ALL mankind? I'm mean no offense and am not being facetious, but I believe there are other, more pressing issues mankind faces as a species, such as eliminating hunger and poverty in third world countries and curing diseases such as cancer and AIDS, just to name a few, that deserve the attention of the greatest minds on the planet much more so than philosophical questions such as "Is this all there is?" and "Is there life after death?"

You bring up valid points.

Could the questions like, "Will there be plenty of food on the earth"; "Can we bring an end to all wars and conflict" and "Can we cure all forms of sickness and infirmities" be on people's minds today?

If so, the greatest minds on this earth may not have the solution to these problems. Where could we find these answers?

Excellent answer.

Bleu, drink some Kava and relax before your brain explodes..:) At least we are left to ponder the questions which apparently have no distinct answers.
