Prediction

In science, one of the most important tasks is being able to predict what will happen. One of the greatest human desires is to be able to feel like they are in control of their future. To predict what will happen is an intrinsic part of that. We have learned to predict the interactions of subatomic particles and of unimaginably large supernovae. However there is one thing that humans simply cannot take science's word on. Since the beginning of human life, people have been trying to predict. But no matter how smart you are, or how hard you work, it takes your entire life to figure out what will happen after death.
