For as far back as records indicate, man has been riddled with the question "How did I get here?".

For the last few years I have been on an absolute truth quest; I don't want to simply live life according to some other man's beliefs, assumptions, philosophies or theories, I want to know for myself. So I started asking questions and I even questioned the answers which resulted in what I will do my best to articulate in this article.

When dealing with this subject there are three components that must be analyzed: Nature, The Big Man and the Big Bang. If we took a little time to examine nature we would find that we are intricately woven into it and hence human life is a result. Nature refers to the phenomena of the physical world and also to life in general. The word nature is derived from the Latin word natura, which means "the course of things, or natural character."

So as we delve deeper into nature, let us focus our attention upon the earth. I will begin by proclaiming that the earth is alive. Now before you start to laugh, I do not mean alive as you and I are alive with conscience and mental faculties, but the earth is alive by way of its natural course. The earth is alive, and, as a result, it is able to sustain life. Everything that we need to sustain life is offered to us from the earth. Fruits and vegetables are offered up to us from the earth. The air that we breath proceeds from the plants that proceed from the earth. The water that we drink proceeds from the earth and these all help to sustain life for mankind.

Observe the critical link between water and a seed during the germination process. The seed has life propensity within itself, but without water this life will not activate. But what about water? isn't it one part hydrogen and two parts oxygen? Do not plants provide oxygen? With analysis of that simple fact, we can say that one cannot exist without the other and furthermore, one could have not been here before the other which is very powerful. Consider this startling fact, you cannot have water without oxygen, you cannot have oxygen without plant life and you cannot have plant life without water. So then all of these individual elements had to be in existence simultaneously in order for them to exist today, but that is virtually impossible. How can you get something from nothing? We again ask the question "which came first the chicken or the egg?".

Nature is observed as a phenomena, because it is really unexplainable. The fact that there is
