>>There's no way to prove the argument either way so what's the point in argueing over something that no one has the answer to?<<
Because argueing over your preferred oint of view brings you into contact with other peoples point of view. Thus, you might change your mind about what is the "correct" awnser because you are hearing new arguements.
>>Sure, many will act like they know all the answers, but what if all we thought was true is wrong? <<
Its very possible. Perhaps the Omnipotent Invisble Pink Unicorn IS real, and He doesn't like me making fun of him. I'd be in BIG trouble if he did exist.
No one has all the awnsers, because we as human beings are very limited in knowledge and learning. We cannot at present gather all information that this Universe has to offer and we cannot make all the connections between that information that is required for a "correct" awnser to the question. Even then, the qustion:"Do we know all that there is to know?" is not awnserable by a simple "yes" or "no" even in the case that we may have a HUGE amount of information.
>>I don't have a clue ain't going to pretend like I do<<
Quite true, but people cannot live without awnsers to questions. Its BECAUSE we know that some awnsers are "true" that we can function at all. You can walk because your body "knows" how gravity works. If gravity changes, your body has a hard time addapting. You can "learn" because your brain "remembers" what the awnsers to certain questions was. If you cannot remember, you cannot learn and you will therefore always be stuck in the "baby" phase.
I've had some experience with Magic Mushrooms, and one trip involved me loosing what I was learned by society. It involved things like knowing what "1+1" was, or the capitals of Europe, etc. It also involved me not remembering how things worked, and who people were and what they were like. I also couldn't remember why I thought they were important. Friends became just as important as anything else. And I coulnd't remember the concept of "time" untill my friend explained it to me. And it was scary, because I realised that, if my memory didn't come back, I'd have lost EVERYTHING from the past 25 years. And that includes my identity.
Identity involves making choises. You might regret some of them (like me) and you want to celebrate some as the most important "correct" choise you have ever done (but won't realise it untill later). Those "choises" are YOU. Just like the subjects YOU hold to be important are a part of your identity. And ofcourse, what you want to do in life is ALSO a part of you.
Your belief is also part of your identity, and most people will not like it if that belief is disproven. Better to close your eyes to all the evidence rather than admitting you were wrong. A friend of mine converted from Christian to Atheism after two bad years. She was actually HAPPY after that, because she could accept being responsible for things herself, but she just coulcn't accept that God had it in for her.
Society has some awnsers to "What is life all about?", but they are frequently only the awnsers that will improve society and make it function. Anyone who holds different ideals will find that society doesn't really like them. Society want people to work, marry, procreate and become useless after giving 40 years of your life to a job you didn't like.
Not for me. I'll go out and find my OWN awnsers. "You are NOT a beautifull snowflake. You are the same decaying organic matter as the rest of the world." So, start by accepting that one day you are going to die, then start wondering what to do with the time you have remaining.
Since you cannot predict WHEN you are going to die, the FUTURE is just as important as the NOW. If you are living only for the future ("In 20 years, I'll retire and THEN I'll enjoy life") you will find that you have wasted the better part of your life looking ahead, instead of looking ahead AND at the present. Enjoying life NOW is just as important as enjoying life 5 years from now.
So, what do you want to do with your life?
