Philosophy and Ethics: Says Who?

My thought on this lesson 2 was very confused and not easy to understand everything. I am sure that I was not able to catch up when he is talking but still it was different than lesson 1. During I watch this lesson, there was one thing specifically catched my attention. It was Cosmic Cube. Here in this lesson, Cosmic Cube is a closed box which there is a room for anything which must be materially perceived. Therefore, in Cosmic Cube, there is no God because He is figureless. While I concentrated on this question, Dr. Dell said "God is and He has revealed himself to us". Which made a complete connection between Cosmos and God. It quite made sense to me, but still there was one question. The question is that actually some people believe just believe, then why do they just believe. People believe someone because he or she shows confidences at something. But! A confidence is not a material. Then, is it possible to make us to believe God, if God shows us confidences? If so, He didn't have to send his son on this earth. My question did not get the answer but video kept going on. Next thing Dr. Dell talked about was philosophy. What I wanted to hear from this topic was the answer for the meaning and purpose of life. However, because our class time ran out and we could not watch it all today, I could not get the answer for it. I want the answer would not be the boring one like we live because we need to serve God and honor Him because that is what we can easily think of and also we cannot easily accept. But I want the answer to be the one that has many supports so that I can think about it enough to understand.
