You gotta read this article:
http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=FB0F1FFF355A0C778CDDAA0894DF404482
It is titled, "Darwin's God," and appeared in the NY Times Sunday Magazine 2 Sundays ago. After 1 week the Times archives its articles and it will cost ya 5 bucks to read it but I'm sure your local library has it.
The article is about the science of why we have religious beliefs, not whether those beliefs are right or wrong....although it does tend to suggest that religious belief is a byproduct of our brain's architecture.
I'm very interested in this kinda stuff, and typically "sit on the fence" when it comes to whether their is a bigger picture than what we see here on terra firma. This article is really really good. I can't recommend it highly enough.

maybe a more scientifically answerable question would be.....where does our universe end and what's outside?

What does yummybud have to say to this?
universe end and what's outside.......... there is no end and we are ///
this is way deep to chat about here,,,, bottom line we are all part of a bigger energy,,, each is a spark and all learning... how we learn is what moves us closer to being back part of that bigger energy,, and like energy its never lost just changes state..
thats a VERY simplisice (sp) veiw,,, I may have to smoke one on the weekend and try to have the pacence to say more,,,,
peace and glad some do ask questions still.//////

ganga you should check out evangelion.."the end of evangelion" movie is kinda what you described..
Life = the assemblance of items into a pattern so no two items occupy the same space at the same time.
Everything from atoms, to molecules, to protein strings, to gravity, to fractals, to the universe itself.. everything assembling itself into a pattern.. a living harmonius fabric all woven together that only seems to fail when two of the objects try to occupy the same space at the same time.
Ever wonder why we as humans spend most of our lives learning, interpreting, seeking out, trying to understand, trying to make our understanding fit into ordered patterns? What is it about a pattern that makes it visually appealling over something similar but completely random? Is the brain hardwired to seek order among the chaotic?
