By Charles Edwards Since the time of Charles Darwin there has been excessive adversity from biologist to accept the theory that life as a result of cv.olution is basically purposeless. However many instinctive ly reject th1s. A young marned couple, looking at their beautiful newborn baby would have difficulty believing that this new life is purposeless. To them, it is a life enriching wonder. "Why are we here?, is the most important question a human being has to face ... I believe that life has meaning in spite of the meaningless death I have seen. Death has no meaning_ life has." These words were written by Elie Wiesel, well known writer and survivor of Nazi concentration camps. He was one of many who answered a question posed by Life magazine: 'Why are we here?" He had seen life at it's very worst, yet he was convinced that life docs have meaning. Not everyone, ho wever agreed. Take for example an ordinary tdxi driver named Ricardo Rodriguez. He answered the same ques.tion in this way: "We' re here to die, just live and die. I drive a cab, do some fishing, take my girl out, pay taxes, then get ready to drop dead ... Life is a big fake." To Rodriguez life has no meaning or purpose. Surprisingly a number of educated people appeared to agree with the taxi driver. Evolutionist Richard E.
