Chapter 2: What Reveals Life's Ultimate meaning?-Chapter 3:How Do Religions Give Life Meaning?

• Religion and science are the two primary ways people answer what the ultimate meaning of life is.
• Atheists believe that we are alone in the universe, and the most noble way to live is to pursue goodness, truth, and human solidarity.
• Religion gives people a sense of comfort.
• The basic concepts of Juddaism: The belief in God's existance, unity, timelessness, incorporeality, approachability through prayer, the belief in prophecy, resurrection, immortality, Divine justice, etc.
• Christians believe we were created by God.
• Scientist have deveoped the "string theory" to explain the existance of electrons and atoms.
• Scientists believe we came from the stars.

In this book, the author explains that science and faith are two ways to explain the meaning of life's existance. One example of this main idea is the idea that people turn to religion for a sense of comfort so they do not feel alone in the world. Another reason that supports the main idea is that professors believe thay we came from the stars. Finally, the author gives the reason that religion answers basic questions to life. These ideas are connected to confucious because he also philosophised about the meaning of life.
