Perhaps the reason some people are so interested in science is because it explores the patterns of the universe - how its creatures and matter fit into the scheme of things.  In other words, they get a sense of stability from knowing how things work.  Why?  Because they can then predict how things will turn out.  Or, at least, they can gather enough evidence to suggest there is some meaning and order to their existence.

We all need that.  Without meaning, life seems to exist in a vacuum.  Many disillusioned people and potential suicides have expressed their feelings in the following or similar vein:  "What's the point?"  Without meaning they see no reason to continue.

Many follow the Christian way because it has given them a sense of purpose.  They feel sure of the future because they believe God has made certain promises.  Based on those promises they can "predict" the positive outcome of their lives.

Have you a predictable future?  If so, what would that future be?
