1. No

2. No idea if there is one or not but I do not act like one exists.

3. Subjective terms. I need an example which demonstrated what is good and what is bad.

4. To the body. Compose mostly. For the what we would call the mind or person I have no idea. I do not act as if a person long past still exists.

5. Evaluation of idea and impact of action.

The world was made for the glory of God and Ex Deo - from God by through (Jesus) and for Jesus. The beginning and end of all things is Jesus.

I believe in a theistic, Trinitarian God 3 in persons 1 in essence. I believe Jesus has 2 natures fully God and fully man. The world exists and we live Corum Deo, before His face. He is full strength everywhere but unseen except by faith.

A better question is why do good things happen to bad people. That shows a measure of common grace for all. For the redeemed all things work for the good of those who love God but the highest good is being more like Christ. The sufferings of this world ween us away from lesser things and point us toward God as our treasure in heaven.

After death will be a judgement and people will either enjoy God forever and marvel at Christ as they enjoy the great adventure of knowing God better and better and discovering more about Him forever and ever. - OR - be worse off than a homeless person forever away from the enjoyment of God

We know right form wrong several ways. Conscience. We also know it from the word of God. Much of the 10 commandments is a reflection on what God is like. God is truthful so you should not lie. Without the word people tend to negotiate down what God requires

I don't know how God created everything, I don't know why bad things happen to good people, or good things happen to bad people, no honest person does, except Jesus. I do believe in God. I believe we can know right from wrong, through the Bible. i believe people who know jesus go straight to heaven, when they die. I don't have all of the answers, nor do I make the rules, I just love Jesus.

  1. Created? No-- but gravity was the primary force involved.

    Define 'god'. Maybe. Maybe not. Depends on your definition.

    Chaos? The bible's Book Of Job has a pretty good take: "Sh--- Happens to Everyone. Deal with it."

    Life goes on-- it just won't involve the dead person.

Empathy. We evolved from a **heard** species, and retain herding instincts.

Hello @porter phillips and welcome to the forum!
To answer your questions:

1. History of Earth - Wikipedia

2. No, I don't believe there is a God. Even if there was a God, I am not certain that a God is worth worshiping.

3. Random chance. Good and bad are social constructs that humans developed in order to have an evolutionary advantage.

4. Their memories are cherished by loved ones. Their legacies are celebrated/condemned depending on whether they were perceived to be good/bad. Their physical bodies decompose in the ground if buried, or turned to ashes if cremated.

5. Humans have developed a sophisticated system of morality through trial and error over thousands of years. In order to have an evolutionary advantage, we have commonly agreed on a set of rules that benefit the vast majority of people.

  1. I supposed the Big Bang but I am not sure that is settled. The important thing is that we are here now.

  2. I don't think there is because we would have had object evidence by now. There could be though, who knows?

  3. Some people have evil and selfish motives and hurt others. Those things not caused by other people, well, the world sometimes hurts other species to stay healthy itself.

  4. No one knows for sure, but I would like to think we have souls that are eternal and reborn into other babies.
5. We are social animals and do not want to hurt the pack. We do not run on instinct for the most part, so we are geared to be able to put ourselves in another's shoes.
