/sci/ - Science & Math

Why was I born, as me, and not somebody else? Why am ~I~ here at all? Consider Dr Manhattan:

""Thermodynamic miracles... events with odds against so astronomical they're effectively impossible, like oxygen spontaneously becoming gold. I long to observe such a thing. And yet, in each human coupling, a thousand million sperm vie for a single egg. Multiply those odds by countless generations, against the odds of your ancestors being alive; meeting; siring this precise son; that exact daughter... Until your mother loves a man she has every reason to hate, and of that union, of the thousand million children competing for fertilization, it was you, only you, that emerged. To distill so specific a form from that chaos of improbability, like turning air to gold... that is the crowning unlikelihood. The thermodynamic miracle."

Is he factually accurate?

I just got the idea that predestination is tied to science because of Dr Manhattan. a man who doesn't believe in god yet he knows everything is preordained.

is thta just the way he was written or is there some truth behing it?

/sci/

Now that I've been studying a hard science for 3 years, I have realized that their is not a purpose to life as far as I can tell and now I am always depressed.

Is this normal?
Anybody else have this happen to them?
