The answer to that question is YES.   \n\nWe will fulfill the purpose God put us on the planet and it will be by our own choice.   God won't interfere with the details of our lives, but eventually we will fulfill our purposes.   He speaks to us in various ways directing us to a certain path and if we follow that path, we will get to our fate/destiny of fulfill his will sooner.   If we don't follow the path he speaks to us, then it will just take us longer to get where we are destined to be (and generally the road is much more difficult).   \n\nRead the Bible...and follow Moses story or Davids story or Isaacs story of their times in the Wilderness.

I'd say the purpose of life is to live it well, advance as a civilization, & keep it going.  That's what we're always trying to do.

Every living being has a unique purpose for which he/she/it was made.  You will be able to understand it only if you live your life to the full..\nSo, stop worrying and if at you haven't started yet... start now.. Start living. \nPlease Don't exist.

Look who is talking.\nWhen turkeys mate they think of swans.\n\nThe very purpose of existence is to reconcile the glowing opinion we have of ourselves with the appalling things that other people think about us.\n\nUse: spell-check more often.

Because people need to believe that they live for something or else to them its meaningless.  People wanna live forever and believe theres a cause.  That is the ulmtimate question "why are we here?".

"Purpose" is a human concept. And a darn fine one. But it is not a property of the universe. So planets, stars, tigers, trees do not have a "purpose" in the sense that a person has a "purpose." \n\nThese things are just part of the universe. We, as thinking individuals can make our own purpose.\n\n\nAnd as an aside, I welcome people to check out the creationist Kent Hovind, mentioned above at drdino.com. But one should also check out more about this "Doctor" at these sites as well. Kent Hovind is notorious for... well, check these sites and judge for yourself.

The only thing that we know for certain without debates on the beginning of time etc.  is that life wants to continue to exist.  Thats the purpose of life, to exist and continue existence.  Everthing else that goes along with this is luxury.

Life is realization of desire (or dreams).\n\n Purpose of Life is not so simple that can be described in single word or single sentence. It varies from person to person, based on his environment, personal belief etc.\n\n But, the most common thing is, the entire human community is revolving around DESIRE. Desire to win, Desire for fame, Desire to ask question, Desire to answer, Desire to invent, Desire to discover, Desire to be ascetic, Desire to be useful, Desire to help others, Desire to gratify oneself, etc.\n Every human being born in this world is having desire and their living is to fulfill this desire.

For us to exist, and do our best in life, before coming to heaven.\n\nA test of sorts.\n\nScience does not have much better an explanation.\n\nAccording to Atheists, we ceast to exist upon death.  It just don't seem fair to live "this" life and then just die for the reward.  There HAS to be something else, thus/hence, I belive in the afterlife, hence God.

Either this is a universe with a purpose, or this is a universe without a purpose.  This book is for those who know the universe has a purpose.\n\nThe purpose of life, in the simplest way to put it, is to learn to control energy.  Learning to control your mental energy comes from using your thoughts and emotions to create the physical reality you desire.  You then live successfully with the matter and events that are formed!\n\nBy learning to guide and focus your thoughts in this way, your inner development is reflected in your outer physical world.  We all participate in creating the exterior world, and this is essential for our growth and lessons while in this dimension.   \n\nThe better our abilities at creating reality, the better we are able to learn, solve problems, create abundance, build joyful relationships, and help others.

we are here for a purpose, each of our purposes are different but are linked...God created the earth and everything in it...God(the higher power u stated)seeks our hearts, but many times we are too busy, we just ignore him, or we don't want to listen...and that's not my personal opinion...below are some verses to back up wat i said...
