Man is a curious cat

It's my opinion that curiousity comes from our God given nature. Without the particular kind of curiousity man has there wouldn't be science or philosophy as we know them.

- We need to ask why man is so eager to know things that have no basis in survival. (Darwinism tells us this motive is the basis of all behavior.) We need to ask why mankind has been so diligent over the millennia in his relentless curiousity about the universe. Man has been so careful in his investigations that I don't think he's overlooked a thing. This shouldn't be taken for granted (as materialists do) but should be a cause for wonder.

- I think it's safe to say man is curious about things that relate to his nature. i.e. what we are curious about tells us something of what we are like; what human nature is like.

- Man isn't only curious about sex; he's curious about a thousand and one things, including the subject of Origins. But we rarely stop to ask why. It's easy to imagine some (hypothetical) intelligent species that's not interested in its origins. Why is man interested in his origins? I suspect that it's because those origins are important to him. If all (or most) these impulses (to curiousity) come from god; then our interest in origins is god's way of calling us.... of prompting us to ask the right questions.
