    Religion such as Buddhism teaches and preach moral ethics and spiritual cultivation - to avoid attachment to sensual desires and to eradicate greed, hatred and ignorance of Universal Law.

    How can you conclude religion is bluff?

    Then I ask you, where is 1st human originate from?
    When human die, where will it go?

    We know from natural history that life was created chemically, and life propagate haphazardly for billion of years till we, human started civilisation, in your religious term, human came from their parents, and after we die we are returned to the ground.

    If life is created chemically, 2 questions :-
    (1) where did the chemical originate from - and why it exist.
    (2) if life is created chemically, where are the mental process and consciousness originate from?

    Human exist for what reason?
    Eat, sleep, work for income to buy food, accomodation etc, and finally die?
    What is the purpose of human life?
    Why do human exist in the first place?

    Why Universe exist?
    Who create the Universe?
    It Universe are just chemicals - specifically the 4 Great Elements of Matter, Air, Temperatures and Liquid - hard, cold place - how does living things evolved (as living things have consciousness, feelings, perception, judgement, mental process)?

    Where does the mental process and mental aggregates evolved from?

If atom, sub-atom, matter, temp, air, liquid, human life, Earth, Sun, Solar System, Galaxies, Universe is such an unstable state - that is subject to birth, live, decay, die ...

Why do human like you are born in this unstable state?

Do we have a choice?

    Is there a stable state - where human and the Universe not subject to the Law of Impermanence - that are subjected to birth, live, decay, die ?

    Under Einstein Law of Relativity - where there is an unstable state - there will be a stable state.

    Where is this stable state - where it will inherit the characteristics of Law of Permanence (where unlike this Universe, everything in this Universe - it will undergo birth, live, decay and die).

    In a stable state - there will be Eternal stability and exist in the Law of Permanence.

    OK based on Einstein Law of Relativity, if there is Law of Permanence of Stability - where everything is constant and not subject to Change - (unlike in Universe - where change is a constant).

    Then can Mental Process be a constant and will not subject to change?

    Human mental process, thought process - is like a flux that is constantly changing where we have one stray thoughts one after another - influence by our 5-sensse consciousness, feelings, perception, judgement and mental formation - also known as vexation.

    Then under Einstein Law of Relativity, will the mental process be an eventual Constant, and where the Mind and Heart is CONSTANT - where not even a stray thought will arise?

    Do you know?

    Can Science explain this phenomenon?

    This is Science what/

    Do you notice that the lifespan of living things and non-living things varies and are very short, where some could be longer?

    But all have run-out-date.

    Some animals last for 20 years.
    Some insects last for less than a month.
    A human last for less than 100 years.
    Sun will last for 1 billion years - and then the whole solar system - including Earth will perish - including all its occupant.

    Have you asked why?

    When non-living things die, they are transformed into another material form.

    When living things die, have you wonder what "mental process" will the deceased transformed into? Will it vanish into thin air or will it transformed into "another form of mental process"? If not how does living things such as human are born into a material world in the Universe - if there are "no mental process"?

    Can Science explain this?

    Science can only explain birth and death.

    But Science is not able to explain what happen from "death" onwards "into the next life". 
    That is there is a broken chain.

    Do you know that there is a consciousness between "death" into the "next-life" - known as "death-relinking consciousness" into the next rebirth?

    We all know that for human to be born, we need a man (call father) and a woman (call mother).

    But on Earth, who is the first father and who is the first mother?

    If some say, first human father and first human mother evolved from apes.
    Then how does the first ape father and first ape mother evolved?

    Now beyond this, different faith will have arguments on how lives are formed - as it touches on supernatural power with different interpretation of how lives are formed.the first ape father and first ape mother evolved?

    Some religions say that lives are formed because God create the Universe and the Humans on Earth.

    Buddhism say that lives in the Universe & Universe are made up of 2 parts - Physical & Mental:-
    (1) 色 (form - 4 Great basic Elements of Matter, Air, Temperature and Liquid) - that form the basis of & 空 (Mental Process (5 Mental Aggregates) - starting with consciousness)
    (2) Nama (Mental) & Rupa (Physical)
    (3) Form (Physical) & Formless (Mental)
    under the Law of Relativity.

    When Universe is collapse into Big Black Hole of Energy (Form), it will still have the opposite pole of Formless (that make up the Mental Process).

    Similarly, when Universe expanded with many celestial bodies, it will have Mental Process of consciousness exist in the Universe.

    The moment when a celestial bodies of 4 Great Basic Elements is conducive to support lives, living things will grow - under the Law of 12 Dependant Origination of Life - through the Volition of Karma - where the Origin is the resultant of the "1st stray thought" - anchor in the 1st inherent unwholesome roots of Ignorance of Universal Law, Hatred, Greed - that trigger the 1st sensual desire - to form the 1st Life in the Universe.

    Scientists and astronomists have discovered that in celestial bodies in the Universe other than on Earth, the moment the land, the air, the temperature and where there are water - micro-organisms (through the 12 dependant origination of life) will start to grow.

    We can experiment it ourselves - by creating vacuum in a tightly sealed glass with no water and leave it for a few days - and then observe it with microscope. No organism grow.

    Then pump in oxygen and some water - observe it for a few days - microorganisms grow - under 12 dependant origination of life. Life is "created".

    So other than human consciousness, animal consciousness, insect consciousness, bird consciousness, sea creature consciousness etc found on Earth, are there other consciousness in the Universe?

    The answer is yes !

    Because when the Earth in the early years where all the above living things cannot grow - then what and where are the consciousness in the Universe reside?

    The "consciousness" reside in a different realms and different dimensions - other than on Earth, because Earth is not conducive to support lives then.

    Conversely, if the solar system and the Universe will eventually die one day, where will consciousness reside ?

    Different realms and different dimensions - until another Universe are formed and evolved to support lives.

    Let us use Math to explain this :-

    0, 0.1, 0.2 ................................. 0.999999999 to infinity ...... 1 - 1st Universe. When 1 Universe die....

    1, 1.1, 1.2 ................................. 1.999999999 to infinity ...... 2 - 2nd Universe. When 2 Universe die....

    ........ 999999999999999999999999999999999999 ... - infinity Universe.

    Universe is an infinity. Lives are also an infinity.

    So if there is Universe (裟婆世界)or Samsara (of infinity of changes - non-constant) and Lives (迷)(of inifinitity of birth, living, sickness, death, rebirth) - does it have the opposing pole under the Law of Relativity?

    Yes, it is known as Nirvana (涅槃)(Eternal Peace and Constant) and Enlightenment (悟)or Nirvana Fruition (no birth, no death, no karma, Eternal Peace and Bliss)

    To conclude, how does 1st life form on Earth or in the Universe?

    The 1st stray thought - trigger by the 1st Ignorance of Universal Law (痴), Hatred (嗔), Greed (贪)- that trigger the vicious cycle of 12 dependant origination of life.

    How this is known?

    If one from Samsara, enter into Nirvana, and then come back into Samsara - the entire cycle of Life is link and known.
