/^t/The enigma of our existence has always disquieted human being. The fundamental existential questions, such as: "Why are we here?" or "How did it all begin?", constitute the universal, never-answered dilemmas. Yet, it is faith that allows us to search for the answer. Our human investigation is purely based on our capacity to believe. In order to grasp the inexpressible complexity of our life, we have to rely on our faith. Whether it is the faith in evolution and progress or the faith in God, is a matter of our conscious choice. Faith is always based on our free will. That is why people are capable of giving up their own life to save their faith. The first Christians were already aware that faith is the utmost value of their life. They succumbed to their destiny because they believed that death is the only road to eternity. Copernicus, Galilee or Newton believed that science is the only gateway to apprehend the reality. If not for faith there would be no philosophy, science or religion. Faith is what makes human being search for the truth. We believe that step by step we will grasp the unknown, the meaning and the miracle of our life. That is why human being will never relinquish the quest for the truth.
