ABSTRACT

A father and his two-year-old son had the following conversation one night when the child was getting ready for bed: Son

Dad, where do things come from?

Father

You mean like the things in this room?

Son (waving his hands to include the surroundings)

No, everything.

Where do we come from, and what happens to us after we die? Why are we here? How and when did the earth and the universe begin?
