For many from a hard science perspective, life & even consciousness is merely the result of the universe Booting-Up. The origin-of-the-universe wasn't kick started by anything & consciousness is merely a byproduct of this world. Yet somehow an immense amount of energy & matter either had or didn't have a point of origin. Then of course, many believe that the universe is a direct result of a creation process. The Big_Bang is a belief-system that several scientists & some creationists support onto.
C Shapes is about exploring all kinds of ideas, theories & possibilities. If one is too skeptical many things are filtered out, but if one has an open mind there is hardly any data filtering. Which approach is better? That depends upon ones perspective & objective through life. Perhaps an open mind that's balanced with skepticism & still allowing for the imagination of various possibilities & scenarios. However, no matter how much data is acquired, its up to the individual to arrive at their own conclusions. http://c-shapes.blogspot.ca/2012/03/guy-p-harrison-skeptical-pov.html
