[quote]Very interesting indeed... It is however often important to ask, whether it is useful to go for the WHY part? for the sake of knowledge acquisition? Once I asked this to a learned scholar, he mentioned that if you believe in religion and the premise it presents to answer the metaphysical questions of our existence. The obvious answer to the WHY is that it all happened through the Word of God. So if you do pursue the WHY part, what you will eventually discover will be a confirmation of Word-of-God theory. But this is what you already know from your belief in religion, then how useful is such a pursuit? The HOW part i.e. the interrelationship of different functions of things, what science is trying to answer, is more useful as it identifies predictable relationships, identifys models to explain phenomena happening in the real world. Therefore, as a human you are able to benefit from the existing phenomena, by utilizing the knowledge obtained through the "HOW quest"? So is it necessary to go for WHY instead of HOW?[/quote]
