The meaning of Life is to help & sustain  each other humanbeing/ Life & make our living place a more happier than present status. Live & let live is the principle of LIFE.The goodness in each humanlife is personified as GOD. The soul of each person is devinepotential.Each person is having soul given by God, the Almighty.The God is omnipresent. Every humanbeing is a part of nature's creation.GOD is created by none,He is hidden in this world & also in your body like the plasurable warmth in the bathing water, like the sweetness of the fruit juice in tender plants,like the fragnance of flowers in their buds & like the love of a maiden i.e. her breasts & long hairs, in a female babe. There is a super power which controls the entire world order & happenings; this unseen super power is concieved by every humanbeing during his bad times & his misrease/distress & then he would try to  achieve for getting the eternal bliss i.e. 'MOKSH',(meaning getting freedom from re-birth & joining the super power/GOD for ever):

God. (cheating) This explanation is what everyone eventually resorts to when the other answers fail. Now, before I go any further, I should make clear that I'm not talking about any of the gods defined in various religions. 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. \nplease read this http://www.toykeeper.net/philosophy/knowledge

To give life.\n\nThe Meaning of Life is the answer to this question:\n\nGod, what is Your purpose of Existence?\n\nFor God's purpose of Existence itself defines the purpose of all that exists.\n\nI asked God that question...\n\nGod answered, "My purpose of Existence is To give life. Since you are made in My image after My likeness, then YOUR purpose of existence is to give life."\n\nEverything that exists is an expression of God's thinking; thus, everything reflects God's thinking.\n\nGod gives life by His unique existence, and receives life when He gives life. All of existence gives life by its unique existence to that which receives life from its unique existence. This is Nature - the union of all living (eternal) things.\n\nYou are here to give life by your unique existence to that which receives life from your unique existence. So do what you love that nourishes those who love what you love.\n\nThis is your purpose.

Socrates and Plato and a thousand other deep thinkers down through history have tried to define or explain the meaning of life.  Each with his own perception and understanding and most times with a very complicated explanation.\n\n   It was not until I took up hiking in the mountains of Tennessee that I had plenty of time to ponder the complexities of this age old question.  Being a Christian I was raised to believe certain things and to look at life in certain ways.  But as I got older and began studying and searching for myself I began to realize that what I was taught as a child was not as complicated as some would have had me believe.\n\n   I always wondered why God would have put us here simply to suffer through this life.  After all he does love us and of that I have no doubt.  So why then?  I studied and pondered and reflected in deep thought just like many have before me, and like them, to no avail.\n\n  Then one day while hiking the Appalachian Trail in Tennessee I came to a clearing overlooking a valley.  It was a clear day with the sun shining bright.  As I looked out across the valley I saw an eagle soaring on the wind.  And as usual the thought crossed my mind that it would be really nice to be able to soar like that.  Then I thought, do eagles look at us and wish they were like us?\n\n   That is when something inside me clicked.  It was more like an explosion or an awakening of sorts.  The meaning of life was so simple that I had looked right past it thinking that it would be some big discovery of some sort.  Some words of wisdom that would make me look like a genius.  Instead three words kept going through my brain.  Thundering as if God himself was speaking them directly into my thoughts.\n\n   We spend our entire lives from the moment we take our first breath til our last one is used up trying to be something we aren't.  Whether we are trying to get a job by seeming more experienced or trying to win someones heart by becoming the person they are looking for.  We act differently in different situations.  Why? \n\n    It is in our nature I suppose or at least the nature of the flesh.  But God's nature is to be the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.  And since we are to strive to be more "God-like", which I used to think meant to try to be perfect, then the meaning of life is nothing more than to "JUST BE YOU!"\n\n   Yep, it is just that simple.  Be you no matter what happens or where you are or who you are with or what you are trying to achieve.  If you can do this you will be something that the majority of people will never be.  Good, bad or indifferent you will Just Be You.

God. What is God? God is agape love. What is agape love? It is the unconditional, infinite love, not the one we humans have, ours is fallen, self centered and manipulative.\nSo to sum it up, the meaning of life is finding out that God indeed exists, and then get hold of His agape love (by walking the narrow way Jesus talks about in Matthew 7:14) after which comes a perfection process in which you purge yourself of all sins. It's that simple.

Who is the Creator \n\n\nBy Dr. Jaafar Shiekh Idris \n\nCan It Be Matter? \n    A very popular question among atheists is, ‘Granted that the existence of temporal things necessitates the existence of an eternal cause, why should that cause be the God of religion? Why can’t matter be eternal and be therefore in no need of an eternal creator?’ I shall argue, on an Islamic basis but at the same time also on a rational basis, that the attribute of eternity entails other attributes, which matter does not and cannot have, and cannot, in view of this, play the role of the original and ultimate cause of temporal things. Muslim theologians say that eternity of existence logically implies everlastingness. This is true because, if something is eternal then it does not depend for its existence on anything outside itself. If this is so then it can never pass away, because only those things pass away that lose some of the external conditions on which they depend for their existence. If the ultimate cause of temporal things is eternal and everlasting, it must of necessity be self-sufficient, qayyoom and ghanee. \n\n    Can there be more than one such creator? The Quran tells us that this is impossible;\n\n“God never had a child, nor have there been any gods beside him. [Had there been any], each of them would have appropriated to himself what he created, and some would have overcome others.” \n\n    This Quranic argument was paraphrased by some Muslims theologians in a way somewhat like the following: The assumption that there are gods beside the one true God leads to false consequences and must therefore be false. If there is more than one god, then (a) if every detail of everything in the world was the result of the action of one of the gods, it cannot at the same time be the result of the action of another god. But if (b) some things in the world were created by some gods, and others by other gods, then each god would rule independently over what he created, which means that nothing in his world can even in principle, be influenced by anything outside it. But this contradicts the observed unity and interdependence of the world. And if that is impossible, then (c) some gods will overcome others, but if that happens then the ones who are vanquished cannot be true gods. There can, therefore, be no more than one creator. \n\n    How does this creator create? Since He is self-sufficient, He cannot be said to depend on anything outside Himself in any actions, and cannot therefore be said to produce His effects the way natural causes do. But if He is not a natural cause, He must be a volitional agent. And since intention implies knowledge, and knowledge and intention imply life, he must be a living being. Since He is an eternal and everlasting being, all His attributes must reflect this quality; thus He must be not only knowing, but all-knowing, not only powerful, but all-powerful, etc. \n\n    Since no matter in any form can answer to these attributes, and since all these attributes are implied by the two attributes of eternity and everlastingness, no form of matter can be either eternal or everlasting, and thus no matter of any form can play the role of that ultimate cause. This much of the attributes that an eternal and everlasting creator must have is enough, I suppose, to show that it cannot be matter. \n\n    But this conclusion can be further confirmed by what modern science tells us about the nature of matter. \n\nWhy Should He Be the God of Islam? \n    Some might say, ‘Granted that this god is a personal and living God, and that He has the attributes which you mentioned, why should He be the God of Islam and not, say the Christian or Jewish God?’ The God of Islam is the God of all true prophets of God from Adam down to Moses, Jesus and Muhammad. But it is a basic claim of the religion with which Muhammad came that previous religions (including Christianity and Judaism) have not been kept in their pristine form which those

a straight answer? God wasn't created. He has just always been (existed). He is the author of all life, so He can't be created by anthing else.

you mean what is the meaning of life on earth?  what is our purpose? who knows, and why does it matter anyway?  \n\nIt's nice to ponder on such things, but we don't actually NEED all the answers in life to live a fulfilling happy existence anyway.

Good question. Again what is life?

OK, here's the deal. I can easily and without a single doubt assure you that a hundred essays and books can be written on that topic. There are an infinite number of questions as to the concept of LIFE. everyone asks these questions, and everyone wants answers. This is completely human, and we can't avoid curiosity. But if you want an answer to this question, you are asking in the wrong place. YAHOO ANSWERS isn't the place to ask a question like that. Want to know where to ask about life? Yourself. You'll get loads of answers from yourself. Now which one is the truth? TRUTH. It's the most unattainable concept in the universe. And we might never know that thing called truth. But life, my friend, is much too mysterious to ask a simple question like why we take it so seriously. I'm not trying to answer that question. It's true we all die, and life is full of unexplainable mysteries. And do you think you get life less than every other human being? You don't. \n\nI'll leave you with this. Begin to answer your question with God. If we all die, your real question should be WHY ARE WE BORN? Why live when we die? Now that is the real question. \n\nGood luck finding truth.\n:)\nYou'll need it.

God? What is your definition of God? Mine is a divine God, one that created the world.. you, me.. all that... and then I believe he sent His Son to die on the cross for us. So I don't think thats in all of us? Do you? Because there is only ONE God.. He knows everything... Can do anYHTING... and we don't understand cause we're only human beings.

I can't tell if you really want an answer or not.  \n\nIf you really are ready to hear the answer, here it is:\n\nLet's get back to basics.  There is no "her" as a god.  There is only one God, and He has come to us in three ways to have three functions.  God is the Creator, and Jesus is the Savior, and the Holy Spirit is the Comforter.  \n\nWhat is the point of this life on earth?  We are put here to make a choice.  Are we going to choose God or not?  God has a mass amount of love for each one of His creation- even if they are not in love with Him, even if they ignore His creation as a witness that He exists, even if they try to analyze their life away without just admitting they can't make it on thier own.  That is how Satan fell.  Pride.  It is a great barrier.  The meaning of life is to become Christlike.  \n\nGod is not controlled by time because He is not in the physical realm.  He knows what our choice will be.  Think about that- He knows that He is going to have His own Son die just so that a person's sins can be covered, and that person says "no, thanks".  He still goes through with it.  He still creates that person.  It is amazing to ponder.  \n\nOur own choice takes us away from God.  In this life, it means that we will live a life that always has an empty spot in it.  We choose not to turn to God even when we are alone and He is there, with His arms open just wanting to carry us through our trials.  In the life after death, choosing to say "no" to God means an eternity without God- out of His presence.  Nashing of teeth, etc.  Hell doesn't sound very hospitable.  \n\nHowever, God is still there.  No matter how many times we reject Him.  If this is you, you can always start now.  No matter what you have done, God has passion for you.  He is on your side.  I encourage you to call out to Him now.  "God- I've been totally denying your being.  I'm so sorry.  Please reveal yourself and your love to me.  I want to run to you.  Open my heart to see your amazing creation.  Help me to meet people who can guide me to you.  Open my heart and eyes to the price that Jesus paid so that you throw my confessed sins away as far as the east is from the west.  Thank you."  Get a Bible, or check one out from a library.  It doesn't have to be the King James Version (although that is a fine version).  Find a biblical church in your area where you feel like you can ask the pastor all of your questions.  Church is not only for the already saved Christian.  \n\nI've already been praying for you.

we were made in his image  (Genesis 2:27), that's why we are human, that's how we were created in god's image.  As for the meaning of life your guess is as good as mine.  Though I can say to honor and praise the Lord God here on earth before we join him in heaven?\nWe should function as good Christan's, that don't judge and ridicule people.  And strengthen everyones faith in him.  Though Christians at least have gotten caught up in society and sin in this day and age.

OMG you have got to be kidding me. This question was asked on here at the beginning of time and you are about the 10,000,000 person to ask it. If you're that bored try taking a look at the link below to see what responses all the others got. And please don't make your next question, 'what is the meaning of life'

What is the meaning of life? The question itself contains a word that is a misnomer. The word "life" should actually read "death" since this existence that we all like to call "life" is really "death." We all reside in the world of the dead, in "Hades" or "Hell," if you will. And of course, the dead know nothing, hence the reason we're continually asking "What is the meaning of life?" Since we're also inquiring of the dead, we get no sure replies.\n\nThose receiving the gift of life and resurrected will no longer have to ask "What is the meaning of life?" Being alive, they also have knowledge and the answer to the question before it's even asked.

Who created whom ?  Did God create man, or did man create God ?  Forget timeframes and other distractions, this is the real question.
