It's perfectly ok to write garbage, as long as you edit brilliantly.

And this one (under Question Flurry). https://www.quickanddirtytips.com/educa ... -questions
From my quick perusal of these two sites, I'd say the general consensus is that the sentence should be formatted as such:
"(Author name) answers some of the most difficult life questions of ontology plaguing mankind from birth by examining the revelations in scripture such as: Why did God create the world? Where are we now in history of the world? What can I expect in the future?"
There shouldn't be commas after the question marks, and since each question is a full sentence, the first letter of each should be capitalized. I also wouldn't include "and" before the last sentence.
If I'm incorrect, someone feel free to correct me. I'd hate to give out false information and misguide someone.
