what to do? & how to do?

For most of us who would want to equate 'scientific thought' in the way we live our lives. The distinction is brought about asking what does scientific thought accomplish.
Science is the method or process or hypothesis that answers our question 'how'?
How does that arise, how does this event take place, how is this possible, etc
Science is more about how you came to be or how your environment came to be.

It still is vacant about the 'what' or 'why'.
That 'what/why' is what most us would want to figure out in life but somewhere between asking the query and accepting the answer we forget that we have just part of the answer.

What do we live for?
Why do we live?
What is our purpose in life?
What can make life happy for us and the people around us?

Science would pretty much puts the answer squarely as: you are just a collation of atoms and a chance event or a evolution of the monkey. With an answer like that, it pretty much erases the question itself, that is it nullifies the what and why question?

The why and what can be answered only if we understand that we are placed in an order. We see that everywhere, there is an order, it is not chaos around us, even science accepts that life as itself is in order, if it was chaos, our existence would have just vapourized. But things are, we don't just cease to be, and the there is a definite hierarchy of laws and just as there is this hierarchy to order there is an order in our lives and existence.

There is a sequence to the motions of time, and if a sequence then pretty much we are placed to play a part in the sequence. We then have a purpose in the sequence and every part has a significance and purpose in the play, the moot point is once we begin to realize that there is purpose and seek it, we find the script of life opening up for us.

But being ignorant about this script would keep our purpose and sequence in the events of life shut and we would disperse the atoms that we think we are at the end of our life span. Being Unacceptable to this order and sequence in life does not make the order cease to exist, it does we just are oblivious to the part we have to play in it.

the crux being that the answer lies in the 'what of life' and not in the 'how of life'!
