What hope does the soul bring in the world with it?  The most primal ultimate truth.  The need to connect with God.  We do all at base level recognize this truth.  To silently hold that this notion is imprinted on us while simultaneously proclaiming the mind is ignorant of it, is to try and make this impression nothing.  More clever and increasingly sophisticated  arguments are not needed to try and explain this away.  It is only in vain when a man runs around trying to extinguish truths imprinted on our primary understanding of the meaning of life.

The saddest realization is knowing a man will live and die at last in ignorance of many truths his mind was capable of knowing.  Even children are not ignorant of things “learned” adults spend a lifetime denying.  Doubtful expressions, mind you, are sometimes the mind's way of requesting more information about the world around us and our place in it.  This is not in and of itself a bad thing unless the expressions of doubt are a smoke screen to disguise one's refusal to undergo the pains to obtain deeper understandings.  Most people's way of arguing is as frivolous as their supposition itself is false.

If we simply retrace the steps by which the mind attains certain truths, we can sensibly interpret the construction of our mental faculties.  For example, we as children extract meaning from the world around us by using our physical senses.  We learn the use of language to describe objects, and even animals can learn this basic behavior (though obviously on a far less complicated scale that humans can).  But as we grow, we also adapt the use of language to describe invisible thoughts, dreams, hopes, mathematical abstractions, and even on to grand theories about the constitution of the universe itself.  Am I making the claim that our use of language is what makes us uniquely human?  Of course not.  The human machine is far more complicated than that.  It's just one of many simple tools we use everyday and of course take for granted.  I fear the incompleteness of the foregoing arguments might have the strength to persuade us to receive sufficient comfort in a bare understanding in uses of terms, and this isn't my goal.  My simple point is thus:  despite all our acquired knowledge, if we are truly thoughtful and intelligent, we return full circle back to the start point.  The need to connect with God.
