have you ever thought about why there is life?

yes, but then again i am a teenager and i am supposed to question everything. the only thing i don't understand about life is the fact that we love it so much, but that's just what hurts us the most. the feeling of wanting to live forever and ever. the feeling of never wanting it to end. the feeling of wonder what's next after this. the feeling of knowing that one it will be over no matter what we do or say.

You are basically asking what the meaning of life is.  I believe that we all have a purpose here.  The hard part is chosing the right path to follow in order to get where we are destined to be.

Life is merely a product of matter, and the purpose of matter is accretion and entropy. That is objective. We cannot answer the subjective. Such as, what is YOUR purpose? Only the individual subject can answer that. We bang and we crunch, we bang and we crunch and that is all us mere stardust will ever do. Dance in the cataclysm, and marvel at what we don't understand. If there is any other purpose to life, at least intelligent life, it is to sit and ponder, "What is the purpose of life?

Good question. Again what is life?

I think that's like a "what's the meaning of life" question - it really can't be answered so just worry about how to live your life before you die, what's going to happen afterwards is a mystery and I think should be looked upon as an adventure that you never know where it's going to end up.

People have always wondered\nwhether or not life exists \nelsewhere in our solar system. \nSomewhere besides the Earth. \nWe humans have never accepted the idea that it is only on the Earth that life has occurred. From earliest times when we peopled the heavens with gods, goddesses and supernatural beings, through our space exploration activities of the 20th Century, we are driven to decide the question:\nIs there Life on Other Planets?\nThe question of UFO's and intelligent life on other planets has become very popular. Many fashionable scientists speculate about the possibilities, insisting that we cannot be alone in the universe. Alien life is the subject of hit television shows and movies, and is also a common belief of many New Age religions. Many people have asked what the Bible has to say about this subject.

Life – it has a meaning and loving purpose - you just have to find your purpose and live it.\n\nI believe every person is here for a definite purpose. Each person is special and valuable; that refers to me, you, your family, friends, in fact everybody! There is a loving plan for each of our lives here on earth and there is no such thing as coincidence. I don't believe that anything in life happens by chance and that every aspect of our lives points to something deeper.\n\nAs human beings, we all ask the question: Who am I? Who am I meant to become? What is my value or destiny as a human being? Who will become for me the model of my humanity? Pope John Paul II told us that ultimately JESUS CHRIST IS THE ANSWER to these questions. Christ is the living blueprint and pattern for our humanity. Jesus Christ reveals our meaning to us.\n\nThus Pope John Paul II, quoting Vatican II in his Redeemer of the Human Race, wrote: "Christ...fully reveals man to himself and brings to light his most high calling." "In Christ and through Christ," the pope added, all are enabled to come to "full awareness of their dignity...and of the meaning of their existence."\n\nYou need to decide now to live for God rather than for yourself. You spend your life on Earth preparing yourself (as best you can) for death. I don't see death as a scary, negative experience, but birth into a bliss filled eternal life with God. I believe that this is something you have to consciously choose or not during your life on earth. \n\nThe meaning of life is for us to discover that we are true children of an infinitely loving and merciful God, to find out what our responsibilities are to our Creator, and to fulfill those responsibilities. Each of us is called to affirm, accept and develop the talents God has given us.

greetings....\n\ni actually believe that we are not alone...i have my own encounters... the universe is big....so big we cannot even start to comprehend how big it is... chances are, life could actually be abundant in the universe, but the degree of intelligence could vary widely, maybe life exist only in microbial form, or with intelligence much superior than ours... but for now only earth is known to harbor life... aren't we lucky we are here?

the magical composition for a planet to have life on has extraordinary complexity therefor life as we know it in the millions of planets we know so far about is almost impossible but not impossible . perhaps life does exist but not in the way we would expect or could possibly think of . lets not forget that even when we have been for so long in this planet it continues to amaze us , so translating that to the universe i think is just a matter of time before find what we less expected in the most unusual ways .

All sorts, it is almost invetable that the universe MUST be teeming with life.\nBillions of planets, millions with life.  Possibly billions with life

Indeed, I agree with the view that pain is not intended as a punishment, but as a mere defense mechanism against natural dangers and death. These defense mechanisms are what help animals, including us humans, to survive in the world, by forcing us to stay away of behaviours, things or places that may harm us and cause our death.\nI don't think this is any kind of proof, not in favour of the existance of a God, nor against it. The only things that can be actually and empirically proved are those that belong to the realm of science and the physical world, and religious beliefs don't fall into that category.\nReligion is matter of reason, but also one of faith, as it aims to find an explanation to questions that mankind will never be able to answer through empirical or scientific methods. (Such as "Why do we exist?", "What's the purpose of life?", "When will our plane of existance end, if it ever does?")\n\nPersonally, as a Naturalistic Pantheist, I believe we should just wonder at how complex and beautifully crafted our world and existance are, the most perfect and intelligent creations, of whose perfection we can only grasp but a minimum fraction, and not worry with methaphysical questions that we will never be able to answer for sure.\nAll we know for sure is what we can see - How wonderfully composed our universe is, from gigantic planets to microscopic quarks, and how complex and puzzling human life is.\nWe should enjoy life and the gift of counciousness, and rejoice with what we have, trying to trascend in eternity by making this world better with our actions and by preserving it for our own subsistence and those of our children, instead of worrying or repressing ourselves with metaphysical questions that we won't be able to answer in our entire human existance.\n\nVery good question, by the way.

Nothing does exist, nothing is real. Life is a journey, not a destination. Our perception of life is only memory and stimulation of senses. These things are not permanent in time. After our bodies and mind have decayed, from our perspective nothing exists. Because our memory of our entire life is also decayed, our life will also not exist. \n\nTherefore we exist only in the eyes of God because only God can transcend time. We are a creation of God and a part of him. Death is permanent. Death is reality.

Yea i Wonder, but as a man of science I have to consider evidence.\nThere is no evidence of ET life.

It's an age-old question, and one that is the very basis of religion.  It's incredible that we can understand both the creation of the universe and the creation of life itself.  We're very lucky to live in this time!\n\nGood comment for "brainless".

Ahhh, I like your question, deep thought....\n\nThe best thing I can come up with after much thought of the creation of the universe is that it is a result of chaos from the lawlessness of nothingness.  I have wrote this in another answer to another question b-4.  The creation of the universe can not be explained by physics we have.  Physical laws did not exist at the instant of the big bang.  I believe the universe we live in today could have been 10 billion times more massive or 10 billion times less massive as it was dictated from lawlessness.  \n\nNow a very interesting thought I have recently pondered is our existence is actually a 'plan' of the universe in effort to thwart its' inevitable demise.  Maybe our universe has a urning, as we do, to live forever, and from the moment of its' creation there was the plan to allow circumstances within it allowing life to form and evolve in hopes that one day we or some other intelligent life could figure out a way to make the universe last, or live, forever.

It has been shown that there is an answer to the great question of life, the universe and everything. It was computed by Deep Thought, but really didn't seem to provide , well... an answer.\n\nThe great computer kindly pointed out that what the problem really was that no-one knew the question. Accordingly, the computer designed its successor, the Earth, to find the question to the ultimate answer.\n\nHowever, due to a slight Golgafrincham problem, and a small hooha with some Vogons the program went a bit wrong. The whole problem remains just as mysterious as it always has been, but a little more frustrating.
