Does anyone believe we're on this earth for a reason?

Here it is folks today's version of "what is the purpose of Life"... I just knew we would get through the day without one.. \nSorry about the tirade...\nOk, The meaning of life is... Drum roll....\n\nEnough being silly..  There is nothing anywhere more important than love. So the meaning of life is to Love and to be loved...   Jim

I think we would be very naive to believe we are the only life form in the universe.As vast and diverse as it is,I believe there has to be a reason for the formation of these planets to sustain life.That said,who knows when the life was present on these planets?And who knows what life forms are out there as we speak?Perhaps Mars and Pluto had life trillions of years ago but there are no remnants now for us to find.It's a fascinating topic.If you think about the possibilities,it's incredible.

the most logical and simple answer possible....we exist. relating to your answer...in all infinite possibilities we are some how here it would be arrogant to think that we are the only ones, we probably aren't the first either.

Yes, at least for now, living on Mars is a dream. \n\nI sure there would be many reasons for living on Mars. To get away from it all. To answer questions which would not be possible to answer on earth. I would expect the reason would be the same as the reason for asking questions, to get answers.\n\nNo, living on Mars is not running away from Judgement day, but it would be a good investment as humans if we were concerned that some planet wide disaster might strike the Earth

I am a believer in reincarnation. It would explain why children come into the world with such distinct personalities, and also why people have such odd phobias. There is scientific evidence (none of it conclusive) that reinforces my belief as well. I also believe that there are many places in the Universe where one may incarnate, and that a lot of beings from other places are choosing to live lives here now. I'm flirting with the idea that I'm from one of those other places, because I'm so drawn to the idea of extraterrestrial life.

We are alive to carry on our species, no more and no less. It is the same with the whole of creation.\nWe as human beings though are thinking, sentient beings capable of questioning even our very existence, as you have done. Not only do we question, but we seek answers, answers that will be passed on for the benefit of the next generation. We learn from our mistakes, and the mistakes of others. Yes there are many reasons for our existence, very many reasons.

OK so not every one See's the world the same as you people have different opinions on how we got here..I don't care one way or another If it was go or and alien race started a science experiment..all I know is we are here and until I see physical proof from either I'm just here..and no the bible a book written by men does not count unless I see one glow with the inner light of your god.

lol yes...well something like it. I believe that God made other things than humans. Alright now think about it . This is just one planet, which is quite small. THere is a whole solar system out there. The only reason why we get a full population of life is because most thngs adapt and their living conditions are here. Tell me why not there wouldnt be other life other than on this earth. Alright not convincved? Well think about this. Why would there be so many other planets in this solar system that we can't live in...what will actually be a point. I think that this alien thing isnt as as exaggerated as humans have cracked it up to be but dont doubt that there isnt some creature not naturally adapted to earth. This is our planet, we can't live on any other one; hence the word OUR PLANET and WE CANT LIVE ON ANY OTHER lol. I havent seen one but i dont doubt theres life that isnt adapted to this earth.

Yay, a question directed towards my beliefs! I don't have a concrete belief about why we are alive....but I think its because we want to be, and because we want to learn. Most humans seem to crave knowledge and what better way to gain it than by living? As to the after life I believe in a place called Summerland which is where spirits wait to be reincarnated.

A simplistic 'yes' or 'no' answer to the question of whether extra-terrestrial life exists is not likely to take us to any meaningful conclusion. Nor does a communal belief in the existence of extra-terrestrials lead us, as a race, anywhere closer to understanding the true nature of the universe and its myriad possibilities vis-a-vis the development of life within it. \n\nIt is also to be noted that believing in ET life is an entirely different thing from being successful in establishing their presence. Probabilistic calculations tell us that we would be fools to think of ourselves as the sole "living" beings in this universe. But, the observable universe, atleast as it is at the present moment and given the way we are looking at it, holds no clue of extraterrestrial life of any kind.\n(There's another but to this)But yes, belief in extraterrestrial life, backed by a mathematical understanding of the possibilities would definitely go towards refining our search methodologies. Thats if we are truly interested, and if there is imminent benefit in holding that interest. These are of course, entirely different topics.

All day, every day.  If there is a God he did not intend for us to make war on ourselves.  We are all connected.  Every last human being and living entity in the entire Universe is connected.  We need to start believing that everyone has a Buddha nature.  We need to start spreading peace and be in harmony with ourselves, our fellow man and our environment,  We need to live each day like it is our last moment.  Because, everyone is dying.  We are very fortunate to be alive right here and now.  Unity is the key.  Is life taken for granted?  You betcha.

We are humans, just another creature here on earth. We evolved from bacteria. But for some strange reason, some people think a fictional man in the sky put everyone here.

I don't think we were actually put here. We evolved here, so we're natives to the planet, although you wouldn't always know that by the way we treat it.

I've heard a couple of people recently who have said that they believe we are due to many "signs", however, I personally believe that we have a long way to go!\n\nUnfortunately, all good things must come to an end, or so some would say.  Hopefully one day I'll see you in heaven!

If you read somewhere (I don't recall it right now) in the Bible, it says that The Lord knew all of Us before being born!..So We for sure existed before coming to this earth!...\n\nIf you ask me as a personal question I believe we are souls, Angels, and that we are being tested in this Earth to see if we deserve to be with The Lord (Jesus) for the rest of eternity!...\n\nI think Jesus is doing a cleansing in the "universe-heaven" after Satan was expelled from heaven (remember he was God's favorite angel and was in charge of the music, but he tried to be better than God)!..It's a plan, it's a process!...I think when God put all of humans in this earth, He somehow erased our minds so we can't recall anything but once We "die" has humans!...\n\nI think We are souls, but We're also Light!...
