WHY ARE WE HERE?

WHY ARE WE HERE?

I was listening to a song* by my favorite prog-rock band, "Yes". The founding lead-vocalist and lyricist, Jon Anderson, is a super-talented man in my opinion, but in his attempt to address the reason for our existence, his view of life and eternity, which has been based on a New-Age style of thought, fell short … Continue reading WHY ARE WE HERE?
