Is There a Creator That Cares About You? / Chapter One -Conclusion of What Can Add Meaning to Your LIfe?

HAVE you dreamed of enjoying a better life, whether in your home area or in a tropical paradise? At one time or another,most of  us have.

In 1891, French artist Paul Gauguin went to find such a life in French Polynesia.  But reality  soon set in. His dissolute past brought disease and suffering to himself and others. As he felt death approaching, he painted what has been described as "a final affirmation of artistic force."  The book Paul Gauguin  18:48-1903-The Primitive Sophisticate says:  "The spectrum of human activity encompassed by the painting spans all of life, from birth to death . . . He was interpreting life as a great mystery." Gauguin  named that painting "Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?" 

Those questions may sound familiar.  Many thinking people ask them.  After noting man's scientific and technical advances, an editor of The Wall Street Journal wrote:  "In the contemplation of man himself, of his dilemmas, of his place in this universe, we are little further along than when time began. We are still left with questions of who we are and why we are and where we are going."
