10. Some need a creation story. Not all.

I have no need for one. I'm fascinated by our inquiry into the beginnings of the universe, but do not expect that the fundamental questions will be answered. We are inside the universe, and so cannot examine it from outside.

No problem. I don't need to know, as much as I'd like to know.

I do know my own creation story, though.
