Survival of our species = reproduction = ***. I guess in a sense, Yo Mamma San and Arian is right lol.

Jokes aside, due to seemingly deterministic outcomes of my life in the past 3 years (that I won't discuss, but it actually turned me from Christian to more of an agnostic), I do believe that life has a meaning. Some things were just... too coincidental. And that's the understatement of the century.

Maybe when I can comprehend what's happening and see what it is that I'm "suppose to be seeing". As of now, it's not a question I'm prepared to answer.

Nice thread, though.

Life has no meaning. The only difference between humans and ants are that humans can realize what they're doing is futile

How do you know? Ever been an ant? Maybe they do realize it's futile but their survival instinct is stronger than the human's?
And why is everybody always trying to figure out the meaning of life? Its such an unimportant part of the universe we know. What about stupid little asteroids? What is the meaning of those? Because there are countlessly more shitty little asteroids out there than living beeings, surely they are far more important and have a way deeper meaning!

Read more and you might find yourself understanding the universe a little bit more.

ok OT
i think there is no meaning in life. we all exist by pure chance and are but complicated chemical/biological and physical reactions...^^ there is no god and i dont think there is a meaning in life.
BUT i do have one goal. you could call it the reason of my life. its a foursome with these 3 chicks:
1.
Carly Rae Jepsen

After reading both of the books I have presented I am so glad to know what it says.
People like you amuse me with your ignorance.
Still I urge you to read it.

This does not pertain to that quote but rather what you keep spewing all over the thread.


tbh u just sound like another religious guy....maybe next time while reading something u should also use your brain, instead of blindly believing what u read... mankind is looking for the reason of life for like....tousands of years. too bad they didnt have your miraculous text from the internet. no i wont read more then what i already have^^

Ants don't have the ability to think. They react to signals sent by their queen. Also asteroids are just parts of planets that have blown up by star's lives ending. They collide into each are become smaller. Therefore they have no meaning. Not quite sure what your point was. Good attempt at sarcasm I guess

ants dont have the brain which are required to be aware of yourself. up to date only apes and dolphins were able to show SOME intelligence. as in they coul think like a 3year old kid. they could recognize themself in a mirror. but still failed at other basic tests human beings passed...
just to point that out^^ for many people this is the difference between an animal and a human. human beings have dreams. can plan and think and even commit suicide while there is NO animel known to show this feat^^
as for the asteroids...well they dont live^^ how can something have a meaning when it doesnt liv in the first place. if u tried to make an indication towards the reason of existence...well that kinda is another story^^ and i think far to complicated to be even understood with our simple minds.

Nice list. ^_^

IKR!? imo the hottest persons there are out there...:nosebleed:
lol well she is 17, in some countries thats allowed :p ^^ for some reason i have a huge crush on her lol. but tbh Emma Watson is also a straight 10/10 ;)

The universe huh? I don't have to read a single page of that made-up shit to understand, that I'd be better off reading a science report of someone who makes actuall valid observations about the universe and forms plausible predictions that can be validated to be fairly acurate if I wanted to 'understand the universe a little more'.

I thought it was about the so called 'meaning of life' and not about 'understanding the universe'?! Don't tell me you changed your mind?

I am using my brain you fool. Everything in this book goes along with scientific fact and evidence. I am the farthest from religion. Stop with the ignorance and just read the thing. When you are reading take it as you will. How do I sound like a religous guy? Am I telling you about the man upstairs or how jesus died for our sins?
No.

Im simply asking you to read something and to consider it but you wont do so. So just leave the thread.

It tells you multiple things to help you understand various aspects of life. The universe is included in it.
It gives explanation on life and death, space, evolution, etc. Multiple quotes by famous philosophers and scientist that go with it all the more.
The meaning of life isnt one tiny thing.

The fact that you have been able to stay on topic is proof enough you have the capacity to understand and consider many things you may not have thought about.

I've read it. But not all of it is backed by science. Like Noah's Arc. Moses parting the Red Sea (the closest is that the Red Sea follows normal tidal patterns so they crossed during a naturally occurring sandbar.) Plenty of other crap too. But I get the gist of what you're saying

You have insulted my spelling and yet you are constantly spelling wrong.
When I try to tell you something about the OP you ignore it and insult me saying degrading stuff to other members.
You lack the education and reason.
You are basically denying science and religion both. The only 2 opposing things that try to explain life.

Those are just stories in the bible my man. What I posted has nothing to do with that.
Its not about the bible. The bible simply tells highly obscured stories of what the truth of life is.
I do not endorse the bible at all.


edit: this puts together science and religion to understand how badly the bible has misinterpreted everything. It does NOT say the bible is truth or the bible is right.


also the whole thing is 101 pages. Not sure about the religious version

i didnt insult your spellin, just corrected as there is a big difference in "their" and "there" while stuff like "I'm" or "im" dont really matter. i have read some stuff out of it and its ridiculous. i said youre like a religious guy because like many religious guys you believe in stuff thats written and scientific without thinking abour it, or trying to find the source of those informations.
i tried to explain to you why that site is a fail, and why there was no reason but all u did was saying i am ignorant and that i should go read that stuff...

do you really think this miraculous site knows the answer of the arguably bigest question in human history? think about it.... its a question which has been around since there were the first human beings....its a question even made up by ourselves and therefore doesnt even need to have an answer.... and u think now of all times there is a legit answer to that on the internet? btw there are literally TONS of books like that.. so which one is the right one?

Im not gonna bother reading that besides the spelling first. I corrected myself before you did. People make mistakes when they are thinking a lot about stuff.

I know the difference between their, they're and there.
Their showing possession
There showing somewhere
They're showing they are

look at everything you have said in this thread. You have quite a few spelling mistakes.

Actually, I know of those tests, but I still feel like there is a difference between recognizing the image in a mirror to be the reflection of your own and not just some tv show and not beeing self-aware.
Take a look at my cat for example. Sure, if I paint a dot on her head and show it to her in a mirror, she wont relize she actually has a dot on her head. But if I paint her leg for example, she's gonna see it and try to clean it off - because she does realize that her leg is part of her body. Also, cats show emotions, they do indeed make plans and they most likely dream, too. Rapid eye movement wich is something we humans do during our dreams can be observed with animals, too. Sometimes animals like cats suddenly awake with an itching movement of almost all their muscles - we humans do the same thing after experiancing a bad dream in wich we fall from great height or get other panicing images that let us wake up.

Sure, there are differences in the mental abilities of other animals and humans, that is after all the biggest feature of our species. But that doesnt mean that we are no animal anymore, it just makes us a smart animal. Ofc, you can define exactly that as beeing the cut between animal and not animal... as I said, it all depends on definition. I myself like to not do that cut at all and see ourselfes as animals, mostly for biological reasons. We difference pant from animal and fungi for physical/chemical reasons, not mental ones, why should we change our method for the 'wnb special case' of humans? But that's just me...
