Purpose of life is twice-fold: to fulfill biological purpose (sex) and to develop (evolve) spiritual progress (of a soul).

Other: There is no purpose to life.
People can adopt a personal purpose for their own life though, which can be damn near anything.

life: purposed to continue

procreation; instinct

about as perfect of FACT as any NEED to verify


ie.... when one can PROVE that procreation (cell division) is not biological and natural, then please present the evidence.

As Enmos has said: Other. Purpose is entirely contingent.

that happens too

but without that copulation, you wouldn't be here

take that, you, no be U, without it

imagine, how many species would not be here, without that INSTINCTIVE nature of LIFE.

or shall we all assume, it's just an accident, that biological life continues beyond EVERY extinction so far?

i follow natures way before 'belief'

as all "belief" is man created

The purpose of life is to ensure life continues on after you die.

which is almost perfect

ie... shares that life is not just being an 'i'

so if, i procreate and live into the next generation, then the FACT reveals itself; life is not being an 'i' (awake)

that life, can exist BEYOND THE GRAVE

it's basic

any other example?

Purpose of Life let me see


Likely to procreate, live, Die then either be cremated or rot in a box. Personally I would like to be freeze dried in the seated position with a remote on my hand then sat on the couch for all to see. But Alas that is not a option at this time.

This is what I feel life in about.

That's is not the purpose of a discussion forum, perhaps you should backup your statement with some type of supporting sentences instead of just calling something bullshit. Why don't you give me something that we can discuss, then....we can discuss it!

For example...why is a Biocentric theory BS, I could use some explanation.

Other:
We are a species that has evolved to survive changing weather, blamed a "higher power" for the evolution, and we continue just like every other animal:
Birth, grow, reproduce, raise the young, age, die to make room for the newborns.
Process of elimination, it shows how small we really are.

but then again, the little ones can make a huge impact as well; galilleo, darwin, and even 'shorty' (confucius)

seems what they DID, still lives

That isn't even a coherent argument in the least. Try again.

So you would never look at someone and think they are wasting their life?

why is it necessary to give a purpose to life , other than it can manifest when the conditions are right to become ?

now since life is here the only purpose of life , to us Humans is our survival and to believe in ourselves

so its not so much about the purpose of life in and of its self , as it is the believe in Humankind devoid of any religion
