According to my brother's labmate, the purpose of existence is to pass on our genes so they survive. I believe that Dawkinism espouses the same credo. Sounds very much like "go forth and multiply", does it not? What do you think?

I know, i was going to delete my pessimistic response but was too late. An excuse for the charcter flaw of domination........what more is there to say?
Go forth and multiply was fine when we didn't have 10 gazillion people here. I believe our purpose is to serve God.
Is that possible without contraception and abortion? Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
LOL, in my circle go forth and multiply is a polite way of saying F off, If any one wants to take one mans idea over others is up to them, I think humans are not breeding stock we have the will to choose ourselves.
I can not think of a reason why any organism should want to propagate, may be people think that humans have some higher purpose than species that have have all ready died out. We propagate because we can, nothing more.
There is no specific purpose to existence as described by evolution. Reproduction is just what we do.
The objective of propagation is the passing on of genes and, thereby, partial genetic continuance at the haplotypic level. There is no other "purpose", unless you'd care to try and define one.
