Solomon is speaking from the frailty of man's frame of reference. All
to conclude that it is all vanity of vanity.
All to come to the obvious conclusion.
Ecc 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and
keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
Believe in God, don't just talk personal perception theology like an
unbeliever, like an atheist. There is no maverick molecule in the
universe; random chance has no power.
God is God of all.
Isa 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and
create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Rom_11:36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to
whom be glory for ever. Amen.
Believe in God.
I shouldn't even have to say these things or quote any scripture, James!
God is God, there is no "outside" or "aside" of Him power that exerts
itself independent of His Will.

"I find this in the Christianity religions: 'Nobody's perfect' they say,
and they use that as an excuse not to do what is perfect."
The Atheist: "They don't believe and put their faith in a Creator (the
obvious). So no evidence and proof is to be found!!"

pretending he is the meaning of life."
"Free will is not power; it is the choice that I allow; that choice is
still according to my power," says the Lord.
What does a fool do? A fool looks for a "nothing" in a "something" in
order to explain the existence of existence.
"Unless you do all because He is who He is, all your religion is in vain."
