Why do we live and what is the real point of our existence on Earth?

We live because our moms threw us into the world, just like that, no warning no nothing.

And then we avoided fatal wounds, accidents, lethal diseases, infections and remained alive. That's why we live. Right now. Thank you mom, and thank you luck.

The real point of our existence? I heard of tropes, I paid attention to that, over time, so here's a compilation:

• Gods made us, and their point is, for us, to respect a set of rules, in order to win something, later in time, that something is often related to an ethereal good place beyond life. Thank you Gods.
• Nature made us, and Nature doesn't seem to have a plan. Nature does things, new things, all over the place. Kind of like a mad scientist. So the point of our existence is survival, reproduction, pleasure and pain avoidance. We've been made extremely capable of appreciating pleasure, and pain really hurts. Thank you Nature.
• Culture, thinking, knowledge, memory and generally THE collective made us looking at a point of our existence, many different historical philosophers popped up and someone recounted what they wanted to say about THE point. There's a lot to investigate in this department, enough for a dozens of lifetime.
• Then there's YOU, and you might want to get rid of everything I collected and summarized. You might want to come up with your own answers. And maybe they'll be new answers, or maybe you'll just reinvent the wheel. Who knows?
• Ah and there's 42.

There is no point other than the one (s) you decide to adopt as a conscious self aware being. It's all just countless random events within the framework of the laws of nature which define our reality.

Why do we live? Two amino acids were dancing in a warm pool one day when one of them had an idea...

What is the meaning of life? It's the meaning you create.

[Nihilist__]

What did you create?

[MrChinaski]

Love. Parenting. Intellectual curiosity. Commitment to live ethically. Admiring small things, like my maples turning in the fall.

[strateguy632]

why? so we can invite nihilists to read the new testament before it is too late.

[Nihilist__]

I already have. Nothing interesting about it actually.

[strateguy632]

i believe you. you had a chance. now whateber judgement will be fairness.

[Iron_Man]

God put us here to live our lives and to see what we can do and he wants us to accept him as our personal Lord and Savior. Heis our God, the one And only The Lord Jesus Christ

I have no idea but will be really angry if the only reason we are here is to replicate our DNA.

[strateguy632]

if that was the only purpose then the ability for that and supporting it would suffice. like rabbits. but intellect has a purpose.
even the author of 2001 space odysey needed a calculating machine slab, to turn ape into man!

[LC75LC71]

You gotta figure that out for yourself on your own journey..

[strateguy632]

by looking inside. i agree.

[jahaims]

Evolution and no point to anything. We just exist. Life has whatever meaning you assign to it.

[Chazmatazz269]

Our purpose is to be of service to others.

[Anonymous]

To exist and be human.

[Nihilist__]

What is human? How should i live?

[loveyouoak]

I don’t know. I wonder about that a lot too.
