We are the mind of the Universe exploring itself.
Well, there you go
Once again I find myself wondering about the number of words I use. I believe, good Shaman, that you have hit the proverbial nail on the head. Anything I could add here would be extraneous repetitions of my prior extranaeity.
All else aside, though, welcome to Sciforums.
thanx much,
Tiassa

Words are truly an insufficient means of exploring the unknown!
I agree, Shaman 1301. Words without feet, or their extensions, are useless ... and contribute damned little to survival.
As for meaning, Cris: I think it's pretty up to the individual to determine what the meaning of life is. Unfortunately, it seems that too many, maybe most, would rather be told what it is than to meditate on the question.

Survival?
If the purpose of life is survival, why is the human race on a path to self-destruction?

Self-Destruction
Yes, Chagur, there are many paths to self-destruction. Some are mass movements such as; war , hatred,destruction of the environment, over-population to mention a few. There are also more individual paths; despair, drugs, suicide and murder. We homosapiens seem to be the only species involved in these activities; therefore, we are the exception to the rule that the purpose of life is survival.

self destruction
Hi I just joined after checking out the site. This is to a point that shamen made about homosapiens being the only species that commits suicide. In Thailand, certain frogs can sometimes be fond impaled on the thorns of a type of bush that grows in their habitat. It is said by the locals that they do this to themselves when they are heartbroken. just a point and my chance to say something on the net

Frogs?
Dear novice,
Welcome to sciforums! I just have one question.
How do the locals know when a frog is heartbroken?

frog suicide
These are the words of people that live off the land and interract with all the animals and plants around them and spend hours just watching. It happens around the time of mating. I suppose with so many of them competing for a partner, some are going to get left out. It's an old argument as to weather other animals think/dream/imagine but I reckon it's pretty presumptious of humans to think we are the only ones capable independent thought. I read somwhere that scientists are now investigating the possibility that fruit flies think and dream.
I live in Thailand and often spend time in the country. There is loads to learn from the rural people. Culture/medecines/survival etc.
Thanks for the reply

We don't know.
Life does have purpose and meaning!
God created all life for His good pleaser!
You have purpose in life, is to the Glory of God!
All that is, is to enjoy, and the Creator has given us the gift of life!
And His people shell enjoy life forever ! Life a lot better then what anyone could dream!
Animals too have a purpose!
I have have a better purpose then being a glorified ape!
Having a purpose makes a lot of since!
Life definitely has a purpose!

Yes WE DO KNOW!
No that's error! ; We are the created creachers made in the image of our God! We are the created, not the minds of universe! That's silly
! And we all have purpose in life!!Cris: There is a better purpose to life then just survival!
And the meaning of life has been determined!
And the reason for living is to the Glory of God the Creator!
Reason & Purpose is established!
We are the eyes and the ears of the universe
What we see, it sees. What we experience, so does it experience. We are the means by which the Universe comes to know itself. All life is of this purpose.
Even the stars sing. If a star sings in the void, and there's nobody there to notice, what does it matter?
thanx,
Tiassa
