He leaned in. Now. My turn. Look, if you say that science will eventually prove there is no God, on that I must differ. No matter how small they take it back, to a tadpole, to an atom, there is always something they can't explain, something that created it all at the end of that search. And no matter how far they try to go to the other way---to extend life, play around with the genes, clone this, clone that, live to one hundred and fifty---at some point, life is over. And then what happens? When life comes to an end? I shrugged. You see? He leaned back. He smiled. When you come to the end, that's where God begins.

The speaker expresses a firm belief that science will never fully disprove the existence of God. He argues that no matter how deep science investigates, whether down to the smallest particles or through advancements in genetics and life extension, there will always be unanswered questions. The speaker points out that regardless of scientific progress, every life inevitably reaches an end, leading to existential inquiries that science alone cannot address.

As the conversation unfolds, the speaker feels a sense of assurance in the idea that the mysteries surrounding life and its conclusion connect back to a higher power. The implication is that God plays a significant role at the point where scientific explanations fall short, suggesting that faith holds value precisely where empirical evidence cannot reach. The exchange highlights a deep philosophical exploration of science, existence, and spirituality.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.

You say you're 'depressed' - all i see is resilience. You are allowed to feel messed up and inside out. It doesn't mean you're defective - it just means you're human.
