Existence Explained

the universe exists to give humans a backstory - no humans, no universe it’s all heads in the shape of our heads history could be made up and I know people who make stuff up sorry but I’m one of them

I read this poem with intensity and pondered what existence really is...it is what's in our minds? Is it created by the simple act of observation (Seems like Depak Chopra said that)...anyway, I appreciate the brevity that gave me pause. Thought provoking. Have a great evening, Sara

I did read that it is all taking place in our minds but what then I struggle with is if someone else sees the same thing, is it taking part in two minds at the same time, then three and so on. Might be another poem in that sometime! Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts Sara

We have to believe in something. I choose to believe the Bible's explanation as to how we got here, why we're in this pickle, and what the future holds

It was inpsired by quantum mechanics and how things are brought into existence by observation, I thought if that's the case if we weren't around to observe, would it all exist? Anyway, thanks for sharing your thoughts Tom
