  • Essay / Eternal Happiness - 1193

    Everyone on Earth has a common goal in life: to be happy. The length of time they expect to be happy and the ways in which people attempt to achieve happiness vary greatly from person to person. Some people hope to achieve happiness in this life; others hope to achieve eternal happiness in the afterlife. It seems pointless to neglect one and support the other. Regardless, the individual is subjected to misery for at least his entire life. Everyone should find equal long-term happiness in this life, contentment in death and, in case the afterlife actually exists, aim to have peace after death. This happiness can be discovered by attempting to answer controversial questions about life, death and origins, by observing the world around and including humanity. To begin this process of finding lasting contentment, the questions that have led to many controversial debates for centuries must have a credible conclusion for the individual. For example, one of these controversial topics is the origin of the universe. One of the main current theories is the Big Bang theory. Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson, two radio astronomers who studied radio signals in the spaces between galaxies at Bell Laboratories in Holmdel, New Jersey, may have found evidence of the Big Bang in 1965. These astronomers detected background "noise" in their satellite transmission system called "Echo" at microwave frequency in all directions, in which they concluded that it was a cosmic frequency resulting from the big bang that created the universe. These men won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1978 for this “discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation”. On the other side of the debate, people argue that there was a... middle of paper... God. exists. Since God exists and there is evidence of the discovery of the Big Bang in recent years, it stands to reason that the Big Bang theory and God's work in the development of the universe coincide. Dr. Gerald Schroeder discusses the connection between these two theories in his works such as The Science of God, in which he relates the origins of the universe (around fifteen million years old) with the first Genesis account of the Hebrew Bible. this connection, along with adherence to moral, social, and individual guidelines, can better free the mind to think about other world issues. This will help them give themselves a goal. This sense of purpose, and the resulting feeling of accomplishment, can provide the individual with long-term happiness and contentment in this life and the afterlife, achieving the goals of a reasonable human being..
