This has nothing to do with science, it has to do with theology and metaphysics... and consciously becoming aware of the fundamental disharmony between the individual's search for meaning and the apparent meaninglessness of the universe as beings look for meaning in a meaningless world. /sigh
The absurd encounter can also arouse a "leap of faith," a term derived from one of Kierkegaard's early pseudonyms (although the term was not used by Kierkegaard himself), where one believes that there is more than the rational life (aesthetic or ethical). To take a "leap of faith," one must act with the "virtue of the absurd" where a suspension of the ethical may need to exist. This faith has no expectations, but is a flexible power initiated by an ignoration of the absurd. (Although at some point, one recognizes or encounters the existence of the Absurd and, in response, actively ignores it.) Camus considers the leap of faith as "philosophical suicide," rejecting both this and physical suicide.
OR...
A person can choose to embrace his or her own absurd condition. According to Camus, one's freedom – and the opportunity to give one's own life meaning – lies in the recognition of absurdity. If the absurd experience is truly the realization that the universe is fundamentally devoid of absolutes, then we as individuals are truly free. "To live without appeal," as he puts it, is a philosophical move to define absolutes and universals subjectively, rather than objectively. The freedom of humans is thus established in a human's natural ability and opportunity to create his own meaning and purpose; to decide (or think) for him- or herself. The individual becomes the most precious unit of existence, as he or she represents a set of unique ideals which can be characterized as an entire universe in its own right. In acknowledging the absurdity of seeking any inherent meaning, but continuing this search regardless, one can be happy, gradually developing his or her own meaning from the search alone.
I'm sorry you choose faith.
