the purpose of human life hmmm..even i wonder that...well acc. to our philosophy there are 8400000 species of living forms on earth...of which only the human form has the ability to perform an action or "karma" so we have been given this chance to liberate our souls or thoughts whatever u may call it "aham" or "I".... to get rid from the cycle of birth and rebirth ...that's the purpose...how we got here....coz the universe if u look at it as a single entity...it decided somehow to divide and keep dividing...that's how we were born....when we die nothing great really happens except that it depends on ur actions and the extent to which u have reined in or let loose ur thoughts...it really depends on "U" ...death is just a door to another realm of existence....is there a god...mmmmm no...and yes....a god in the physical sense no ... and god as in the whole universe (including YOU) as a single entity ...that's god...hip hop is good at times for me :) well neither the 50 cents nor the game for me...i'm indian :) before we were born .... we were souls fighting with other souls to grab that oppurtunity of human birth when the seed was laid....the universe is infinte ...no one knows the size ....not even god.....something like ...do u know how good can u be????....:) \n\nhope this answers at least some of ur doubts...

Wow:  Thanks for the info about the DNA.  For those readers that wondered how the world comes into being without God creating what He alone is able and willing, such info as the DNA, let alone the rest of the whole complex of Created mass and masterpieces, it rests on this issue.  You see, you think, and you understand.  OR you see, and refuse to see, you think and you refuse to think, and you refuse to understand.  Part of that matter of Free choice.  The simple fact is, what you choose to believe is also part of the gift you were given in Creation.  You believe or not, and amazing, it gives you a part in the rest of the community.  There are adequate numbers of unbelievers, that will all affirm your faithlessness, just as there are adequate numbers of believers who will affirm your believe in pagan cult, just as there are adequate numbers of believers in Islam, or Christianity or any other form religion.  Numbers however, doesnt affirm factuallity.  Flat world theorists believe it.  Round world hanging in space believe it.  Sun circling the earth believers affirm it, as do earth circling the sun believers affirm their bit of observation.  \n   Did Noach go searching for the animals?  No, the Text says, according to Moses, affirming that GOd instructed him to write, that God caused the animals to come to the ark.  Noachs job was to build it and stock it with grain and grass, as all the animals would eat vegetarian while aboard, including Noach and family.  Is that possible?  Depends on how you view and believe.  Impossible for those who refuse to believe that GOD was involved.  Possible for those that choose to believe in such miracle process or natural process.   It is all amazing, no matter what you believe.  If you believe God created, thats amazing.  From my point of view thats acceptable.  What would be more amazing is to try to figure out how all this world in all its complexity came into being without a Creator God, since it is obviously more complex than any human can contrive.  Heck,,,we cant even create a blade of grass from nothing, let alone a human eye..or the rest of a human being.\n   The story of the group of scientists who were all working on a grand assignment, to duplicate life...and one day they all agreed, they had done it.  Accomplished the grand impossible,  they had developed a life form in a petri dish.   Eureka they shouted...we did it.  We dont need GOD any more.   THEN GOD SAID :  Now, try it without anything:  No dirt, no fire, no water, no air and no petri dish.

What is reincarnation??\nLife is infinite.\nLife never ends.\nwe're just reborn where ever we want.\nAnd as time is an illusion, it is easy for those who master it to contact anyone at any 'time'. future or past - doesn't matter.

God. This explanation is what everyone eventually resorts to when the other answers fail. Throughout all of human history, we've been trying to explain existence. But nobody has ever succeeded. And it's likely that nobody ever will. So we create the concept of God, whose only necessary property is being "that which explains existence." \n\nThis doesn't tell us much about god, though. It doesn't mean that any particular religion is correct. It merely defines god as something which answers The Question, because we have not been able to. \nbut...\nThe Bible represents a fundamental guidepost for millions of people on the planet, in much the same way the Koran, Torah, and Pali Canon offer guidance to people of other religions. If you and I could dig up documentation that contradicted the holy stories of Islamic belief, Judaic belief, Buddhist belief, pagan belief, should we do that? Should we wave a flag and tell the Buddhists that we have proof the Buddha did not come from a lotus blossom? Or that Jesus was not born of a literal virgin birth? Those who truly understand their faiths understand the stories are metaphorical."Sophie looked skeptical. "My friends who are devout Christians definitely believe that Christ literally walked on water, literally turned water into wine, and was born of a literal virgin birth.""My point exactly," Langdon said. "Religious allegory has become a part of the fabric of reality. And living in that reality helps millions of people cope and be better people."\n"The Da Vinci Code"

Another interesting thing that I've never gotten an answer to (and which would apply even if a "day" were an aeon) is that it takes god half a day to create all the stars, black holes, quaasars, billions of planets.  And a whole day to make humans.  We are just THAT spectacular.

Why propose a question you do not believe in?  Secondly, scientist have proven that the univers is expanding from a central point?  Why do you think this is...Do you think God push things outward to make more room?\n\nBesides if god created us, then who created god?

Why do you exist—why were you born? What is the meaning of your life? Were you put here for a reason? You can know—you must know!\nWhy were you born? Is there a reason—a meaning—for your life? Is your existence part of a divine plan?\n\nWas mankind placed on earth by an all-wise Creator as part of a great Purpose—a MASTER PLAN? Knowing the answer is supremely important!\n\nThink for a moment. What could be more important to understand than the purpose for your life?\n\nAtheists refuse to know. Those who do not accept the existence of God certainly cannot accept that He has a Master Plan. \n\nCynics scoff at the possibility of knowing. They see the confusion and wide disagreement over this question and conclude it can never be answered. \n\nScientists cannot discover this knowledge through laboratory analysis. Honest astronomers, microbiologists and others acknowledge that God exists, but this alone does not reveal His Purpose for mankind.\n\nPhilosophers cannot discern it through meditation or discussion. Divinely revealed answers cannot be obtained by centuries of pondering questions. \n\nEducators cannot teach what they themselves were never taught. Those who merely teach from books written by other men cannot teach what those books do not contain. \n\nAstrologers dazzle with tricks that reveal nothing of value. Do any reasonable people seriously think that such “business people” (those who sell fortunetelling as true understanding), supposedly in contact with the “dead” and the “spirit world” (actually demon spirits), hold the meaning of life? \n\nTheologians offer humanly-devised counterfeits. All religions profess to hold the answers to life’s questions, but their ideas pale as cheap substitutes—empty counterfeits—when the awesome truth of God’s Plan is fully understood.\n\nMost people live their entire lives without a clue as to why they are here. They drift aimlessly, unconcerned about the answers to life’s greatest questions—why life and why death? Others enjoy debating the meaning of life, but never arrive at the correct answers. Many conclude that mankind is little more than a product of evolution—blind, dumb luck!\n\nInsoluble Problems\nThe world is experiencing an explosion of knowledge amidst ever greater human suffering, unhappiness, discontent and confusion. Why such ever-worsening moral decline alongside astonishing materialistic progress? Weapons of mass destruction now threaten man’s very survival. \n\nWhy? And where do we go from here?\n\nThe number and severity of problems facing mankind have never been greater—disease, pollution, poverty, ignorance, religious confusion, war, terrorism, crime, violence, hunger, immorality, slavery, oppression, political upheaval and much more—why? \n\nProblems both between and within nations have never brought more division between peoples—why? \n\nWith the passing of time come more problems, not less—why? \n\nAlso, existing problems grow collectively worse instead of better—why?\n\nWhy, at every turn, has man botched, bungled and failed miserably in all efforts to solve his truly great problems?\n\nIndividually, people have never seemed more incapable of addressing and overcoming their personal problems. As with the world in general, the passing of time sees individuals and families drowning in a sea of moral decadence and under seemingly insurmountable difficulties. More and more seem completely incapable of managing their lives—why?\n\nMen have created many amazing technological inventions, but they cannot create solutions to their problems. Mankind has harnessed the power of computers to process vast amounts of information, but human beings cannot correctly process their personal problems. Scientists have discovered much about the size, magnificence and precision of the universe, but they cannot discover the way to peace. Astronomers can find majestic, beautiful new galaxies throughout the universe, but they cannot find

What is the point in being a God if you cant draw circular triangles. What kind of a God z dat.

We'll never know. And what's the point of knowing anyways? If you know you go to an afterlife paradise like heaven... won't you just kill yourself? If you know that you would go into another life, like reincarnation... you'll still forget everything you know now, so you wouldn't know that you've been through reincarnation in your new life... what do you know? This life may be your five thousandth reincarnation... what's the point of knowing if you'll forget in your new life?\n\nThese kind of questions are just there to let us ponder... let us know that we'll never know... yet still ponder...

Well, you're asking a question that has plague man since we looked up upon the stars and wondered who we are, where we come from, and what is out there?\n\nFirst of all, you're confusing some of the concepts that you've heard. Let's address your questions one at a time:\n\n(1) It is true that as we learn more about the Universe, we're discovering that the world is NOT as it superfically appears to be. A good example is that we used to think the Earth is flat, or that the Sun rotated about the Earth. These are superficially obseravable phenomenons, but the truth is very different. So now we're finding out many more new facts about the Universe that defies our imagination. For example, it turns out that the matter that we can observe through our telescopes, the stars, galaxies, etc. makes up only about 1% of what's out there in the universe, and we currently have no idea really what makes up the rest. We just call them dark matter and dark energy.\n\n(2) The Anthroptic Principle is basically saying that given all that we know about the universe, it can't be just  coincidence that it is capable of supporting life and particularly intelligent life like us. So the principle is suggesting that there must be some Agent (supernatual or otherwise), a designer, behind the contruction of the universe. Whether you believe this or not is up to you.\n\n(3) Here you should not pay too much attention. It is true that Quantum Mechanics (a branch of physics that tells us how microscopic elementary particles behave) saids that the outcome of an event depends both on the Observered and the Observer (hence the term "participatory universe"). But these rules only apply to electrons and photons, not people, stars and the universe. At least we currently don't have any evidence that it does. Also, I think all this is really more of a philosophical position than scientific fact.\n\n(4) I can't tell you whether the universe really exists or not. You will have decide that for yourself. But just remember, before you decide to jump off a building, make sure you are absolutely certain that you won't be falling down and breaking your legs.

We are the offspring of Gods.  Our purpose is to become gods and multiply and replenish the heavens.

I could never top this excellent answer that I received for a similar question (from YahooGuru4u), so I quote it here verbatim. Of course, I ruled out the answer "42."\n\n"Darn you. You sucked me in with your question, then I get here and I see 42 is already taken. Now we really have to go on a trip and I'm without a towel. Well ok, let me see what I can come up with, shooting from the hip as it were.\n\nMy best guess is that the meaning of life, the universe and everything is "MORE". The quest for more seems to be at the center of all living creatures. All organizations be they organic or manmade seem to be trying to get "more". The universe itself is expanding, so I am told. As for "everything" anything that should happen to get created instantly becomes part of everything, so even everything seems to crave more. Yes I think I'll stick with the answer "MORE". What? Wait, just a minute, my wife is yelling something from the kitchen......\n\n(long pause).....Hello I'm back again. My wife says the answer is "LESS" She says life is always moving toward death which by it's very nature is less life. The universe is made up of a limited quantity of everything and it is being used up also, so you have less now than in the past, and as for "everything" Well since everything gets used, you must have less of everything now than there was in the beginning.\n\nSo my wife and I will agree to disagree and say that the answer is: More or Less, or possibly More and Less. I guess that's pretty much the same as 42 because 4 is more and 2 is less. I'm getting a pain just behind my left eye from all of this thinking.\n\nWhat!? Just a minute, my wife is yelling again!........ I'm back. She said I'd better get off this Yahoo Answers thing and come to the table if I want any dinner. I told her that I'll never have to come back to Yahoo Answers again because I just pretty much summed up life, the universe and everything. I'd better hurry if I want more to eat and less yelling. So long and thanks for all the fishes."\n\nHappy Answering,\n~Tia~\nLive from the big, purple brain\nhttp://advision.webevents.yahoo.com/asktheplanet/brain.html\nASK YOUR QUESTIONS, CALL THE BRAIN - 212-382-3592

Dear episodes1979,\n\nI am neither fanatical nor ignorant, and, in fact, have done quite a bit of research on what we humans like to call "supernatural" or "miraculous".\nBased on what I know, I can make the certain conclusion that the universe is not merely limited to the existence of human beings.  We are important, but we are such a minute part of the creative force or energy that seems to surround us at all times.  The greatest of scientists and philosophers will tell you that there are far greater things, worlds, ideas, and concepts at work in our world than we can ever imagine.  Certainly, if there was such enormous energy that this whole galaxy evolved, why should it be limited just to animals, plants, and humans?  The main conclusion one can come to is that, yes, there are those beings, spiritual or physical or both, that are among us in different ways and realities.  And yet there are some completely natural phenomena that early uneducated man propagated as something supernatural and now we wonder what it may be.  Ultimately, everything can be explained scientifically or mathematically, even "ghosts" or "aliens". (As a matter of fact, we have come to call them "aliens", but all that it is is just other diverse life forms, some look like us, who have evolved in other galaxies, universes, etc.)  \nIt is not a fact of whether we believe or don't believe, but rather a fact of how open minded and adventurous we remain.  When we are born, nature provides us with a great openness of heart and mind and a great adventurousness for us to develop even more of it.  How sad it is that some would rather stick to the boring, simple concepts of Life as illustrated by the fact that we reason away our natural desire to be open and inquisitive.  I hope that people who read this will get encouraged on their search for truth.  Or for those who prefer otherwise, it is your choice after all and nobody should judge you for it, I hope you will one day truly investigate at least one of those things that seem to be "taboo" in our society to support (other life forms, us as spiritual beings existing in physical bodies, other mystical creatures).  After all, no matter what the truth is, the ultimate truth about our universe will always be there, and you will only get smarter and wiser if you dare to ask the hard questions and heartfully search for answers.

1) The world was created by God, who is everywhere, sees everything, and knows everything about us, and still loves us more than we can even imagine!\n2) We were not dropped from the stars; God created us in his image at very beginning of Creation. Have you heard of Adam an Eve? They were the first humans. Unfortunately, they ate the forbidden fruit even after God instructed them not to. But if you think about it, if Adam and Eve hadn't disobeyed God, someone else would have just because we can't leave well-enough alone.\n3) No, the Bible is way more than a story--it's the truth! It is God-breathed, God-inspired, written by men who were instructed by God what to write. Yes, God CAN speak to humans!\n4) I do pray, though not nearly enough. And I pray to the one and only God, Jesus Christ. God loves when we talk to him, because it brings us into deeper fellowship with Him. When Christians talk about intimacy with God, that does not mean jumpin' into bed with Him! It means having a very deep and personal relationship with God, even though He rules over all! He wants to be our Friend.\n5) When I die, God promises eternal life in heaven to all those who believe in Him. The physical body dies, yet, but the soul (spirit and soul are the same thing) escapes from the body and experiences life with Jesus in heaven.
