Ok Mark I’ll answer. It’s one word. “Truth”

Is there beer in heaven ?

Good answers y'all.
Just inviting comments on a comment board.

Many "ology" branches of science, philosophy, and theology all gather around the most basic question of life....

Why is there something rather than nothing?

It is the main starting point of every other answer we seek.

Blessings!
Mark

yup that sounds like a PHD question

everyone else started with we are here so no point in asking why there is nothing we are something so why ask the question.

I did thing of another most basic question , Right eye or left eye dominant ? it is where all shooting instruction should start.

To me the biggest variable in this ask is not what but WHO is answering the question. With 7.5 billion people in the world to me there is likely a lot of difference in opinion on something as basic as life. Being alive is a very physical thing, what we learn, believe, do and teach are much different and different for all of us.

The most basic question then leads to the three major world views on how it's answered, and on from there all the "ologists" go.
This question has been the basis for the science in our lives and it's the question the Enlightenment sought to answer some centuries ago and we are its progeny.

Atheism: There is no god and this is all there is.
Pantheism: God is everything and everything is god: souls where created in time past and are continuously reincarnating. The best one can be is to transcend yourself from your body in bliss called nirvana.
Theism: There is a God who designed something from nothing.

This is the age of scientism after all.
Science is the major religion of our time, and I must confess I really like GPS, air conditioning, and the older I get, the more I want my truck to do

Where was consciousness created?

What is the meaning of Life, the Universe and Everything?

Deep Thought...

^^^^ truth

Before my brother passed away. He ask me "What was it all for?" What he meant was his life all things he'd done good or bad.

Bryce,
You might really enjoy the writings and theology of John Locke. He wrote extensively about what you outline, and his Lockeans are still alive and well.

For many people it has to be: "What comes next?"

You left out the agnostic: A person who claims neither faith nor disbelief in God.

Agnostics are typically lumped together with atheists as a worldview (and all are labeled as "secularists") as most major agnostic apologists are not neutral, but rather land on "no god."

Secularists: 835 M. 11%
Atheists 137 M
Agnostics 700 M

I don't care much for labels. I've always worn plain pockets. I do understand why some see them as important.

Trapper is an identifying label

I read somewhere that life itself is the true miricle, the fact we live at all. So why is it so difficult to comprehend living again. I'm not sure I have an example of lifes most basic question. But I believe one of life's most basic purposes is to learn Heaven while were here, to practice it and become better at it.

The precision needed to create an expanse 15 billion light years across all the way down to a immensely small particle known as a quark, is calculated as being infinite.
The Big Bang theory has been challenged and discredited by noted scientists, as science discovers the precision and complexity necessary to produce what I wrote in the 1st sentence.

well that clinch's it then. definitely magic

I didn't place it there and while trapping is something I do I'm not a trapping bro.
