Evolution

For the 'fittest' to survive

In what ever that may be where it eventually lives forever (even after you leave the 'shell' which is your body)

To be constantly in pursuit of excellence

To power good

To then go back to your maker

Everything opposite to this suffocates life (it leads to suffering and are killers of life).

So can we decide the destiny or limits of our destiny, every single thing in this universe have some reason behind it, this is another thing that we know about it or not.

WWAALL: This is one fact in this universe to understand well first.


Each human being's faith position will determine their answer to this question.

For some who believe in God, who believe in writings that have come down from centuries past, there is great purpose in this life, with the culmination of this purpose throughout the future once we pass away.

For others, there is no purpose.

Me, I think that a life without purpose is without hope, without the means to make the best of things, and to strive for improvement.

So for me there is purpose in human life.

I am conviced without doubt that intelligence cannot spontaneously erupt and grow. Intelligence comes from intelligence.

There is not one evidence science can find where evolution has improved, but rather we we the declining mutations prevalent in evolution. There is not one scientifically provable evidence of the addition of information to a lifeform, but only the declination of information in the lifeform.

This leads to a logical conclusion (for those with an open mind to investigate it properly and thoroughly) that some form of intelligence made the intelligence that we have as human beings.

In no way am I confronting or arguing with those who choose to not believe in a "higher" intelligence, but the science is pretty compelling for this conclusion......

The purpose is to use humans as 'buffer' zones between the more intelligent species who see Earth as their 'home'!

As of yrt there seems to be no purpose to the chance happening of human beings.
Also many scientists believe we are the only "intelligent" life in the universe.

yes, there is a purpose for life on the lower worlds of God ,but to the less spiritually conscious souls ,life is just another day ,the priest craft and the churches had muddle the real teachings of christ and christinity. We had been here before on this physical plane and others that are invisible to the naked eyes, inshort the purpose of souls been here boils down to karma and reincarnation .

...
WWAALL: yes, definately is it.

Purpose of our short but very precious human life should be in the first instants; utilize our enhanced ability to reason, find a proper understanding of the nature of our human form birth, engage in a transformation of our past unwholesome negativities, views and activities into more positive mystifications directed towards benefiting others.

The overall point I am maing is that if life does not have a purpose then there is no point in living it.

Lifes got to have a meaning.

To give you ONE example...someone said to me that their greatest purpose in life is to look after their elderly mother.

When other people take a look at how his mother is doing, they will be astonished at the high level care given. And compared to the usual going on where, when they look at other peoples mothers care and wellbeing, it is being neglected.

We hold such great power (being at the top of the food chain) and it needs to be used responsibly with a purpose.

Otherwise your saying your just a piece of physical matter that are made up of atoms, here to self indulge and then die. What a bleak life that would be. In fact its no life at all.

A man without a cause, is no man at all.

On a biological and strictly individual level the purpose is to breed.

I don't know what our collective purpose or culture is for or why there are/were so many different cultures each with their own soul or way of experiencing and interpreting the world. I would say that culture is art as a way of life, and why there is art instead of no art at all?

The short answer is to make history. That's what we live for.

There are historical and ahistorical people in this world - those who live for legacy and those who live to be of no consequence; And this not only operates on an individual level, but entire generations and entire nations can be historical or ahistorical. One generation of greats may arise where the fate of the world is decisively set, and the next generation may be a circus of irrelevant people.

Or maybe not quite irrelevant. Their relevance is to bridge the generations of historically relevant people - Some live meaningless lives today so that the Sons and Daughters of tomorrow may live with a meaning they tear from nothing.

In a line: The meaning of life is to live in a way worth remembering.

You could say this thread and this site are the antithesis of the meaning of life. If people wonder about our purpose is in this world then CS is what it is definitively not.

I always saw culture as a way of life that has evolved to make use of resources, thoughts and information gathered and exercised for a particular Community. The same culture may not transfer to another People where different needs and ideals have evolved.

Art may work anywhere and everywhere if it doesn't offend our culture and it is timeless. Culture evolves and this is why so many people try to relive it or adopt it because they are often fearful of losing it. In this context I believe we could just enjoy it the way we do art but as a way of life culture can be destructive as can religion when stuck in a time warp and reason isn't part of a particular culture.

To be remembered and history are after life so do not answer what is the meaning of life?

Procreating as all living things but our destinies are often our choices and fate is our luck. This is why we endeavour to educate in order to make the very best of what we have.

So could it be Education that is our purpose and our resolve has yet to come?
