Why is there something rather than nothing?
Because God exists and made something

How do you explain human nature?
Sinful


What happens to a person at death?
If they believe in Jesus and accept Him as their savior then Heaven awaits
If they don't believe, they go to Hell


How do you determine what is right and wrong?
Based on the Bible the standards of right and wrong contained w/i it.

How do you know that you know?
Because I know that know - I simply know - There is no greater authority than God.


What is the meaning of history?
not sure- would defer to Webster on the English meaning of "history"

This question doesn't refer the the meaning of the word. Basically it is asking if history has any meaning.

Here are some examples:
One answer is that history is determined as part of a mechanistic universe. Another answer is that history is a linear stream of events linked by cause and effect but without purpose. Yet another answer is that history is meaningless because life is absurd


Those history answer examples are way out there. I have not found my mind capable of producing that kind of abstract thought in most cases.
so "What is History?

I would say it is events of the past from creation until leading up to right now that we can study and learn from now / learn from past mistakes and successes - that's all I got.
