I agree with Jack, there is no meaning. once you're dead there is nothing, and 1 billion years from now humans will be completely erased from the history of the universe. in the end it all means absolutely nothing.

:hello: I can't wait

Nobody knows and likely never will before humanity is wiped out.The only 'meaning' we actually know is to reproduce and try to survive.Our planet is a living organism in which we are a small part.

My RE teacher told us the meaning of life was to reproduce.

That is more the purpose

Post,I love reading your posts as for the meaning of life my opinion is probably the same as yours:wavey:

Typical.



There is No God

I feel blessed to have been given life and for me it has a reason,it's cycle that continues,to pass on knowledge and be the best you can,imo death is not an end.I don't think I've explained that too well,but I think every life has a reason.

now he is doing a 10 stretch

:nono:

:joker:

Its is
I have seen people Die
its a solid block on everything.

No return
No come back later

Sad but its the Truth




Yes
Every life has a Reason
Hitler had a reason
to Murder Millions
and take over Europe

Obviously the body is dead Arista,it gets old.

There is nothing else unless you know better than the greatest scientific minds that have ever lived?

No not just Old
Young people Die
sadly.



Its a Solid Dead End
there are no secret doors


The Magic Age for music deaths
is 27

Jimi Hendrix - top of the list

Choked after taking his ladys head pain pills
He just wanted a rest.

No one knows not even them:hehe:

That's true,people 'die' sometimes when they shouldn't,usually by mans hand or disease.

Difference is science will always consider all possibilities in search of the truth whereas religion claims for a FACT that it has the answers to what happens after we die.

But of course even they can't agree and what you believe happens when you die is wholly dependant on where you were born and thus what religion you follow.

Nobody knows what happens after death.

I'd like to believe that there's something, I felt my dead mum sit next to me, I wasn't thinking of her it just happened, but my heart told me it was her.

Sometimes there are no explanations, there has to be something or what is the point?

Well they do know. We know how the body works, how the brain works and how we live, breath, see, think etc and we know when we die all that stops.

Its futile to spin this big " who knows myth"

You would be as well saying "well we dont know there could be massive invisible dinosaurs roaming around who we cant see or feel"

When you die the body stops and decays and "life" as we call it ends with the death of the brain.

One has to deal with the marvellous reality rather than create a very dull unreality.

Yet our hearts have an electrical system, this energy could be our souls and this energy could go into the universe, this energy could manifest as our being, again nobody knows.

Once upon a time humans thought the Earth was flat, and yet we learnt that indeed it wasn't.

I think we should all keep an open mind as no-one knows for sure, i've had my fair share of experiences and i'd like to believe they are true.

Morpheus: This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.


I like this quote, and i know it's from a movie but it indicates possibilities and potential.

No-one knows how deep the rabbit hole is and i believe science is in it's infancy, as humans we still have a lot to learn:angel:

If you watch QI you learn that no one thought the earth was flat

Its a myth :idc:

The meaning of life if the same in all living things, make babies.

But how do they know this?

Were they there?

Humans were around before the 13th Century.

If this is the case then what's the point in working, education etc.

We may as well live like animals and just procreate.

We are far too intelligent for there to be nothing, deep in my soul it tells me that there's something.

:facepalm:

Oh that's right QI have all the answers:grin2:

They tend to delve a bit deeper than you seemingly have

:idc:

For how do they know this i meant to say, how do they know that people thought the Earth was flat/round, people in the very early years thought the Earth was flat, but as knowledge grew it was found that the Earth was round, for those that say it was a myth that people was believed to think the Earth was flat i ask, how do you know this, were you around to explore peoples beliefs at this time? No nobody was around, all we have to go on is what was written, and since there is very little to go on in the early years and i'm talking 3 BC, then we can't say that these people didn't believe the Earth was flat, just as we can't say what happens after death, because we just don't know.

:joker:

:hug:

:kiss:

So what were we when we were homo hablis then? Animals or more? Which stage of our eventual evolution from our primate ancestors did we gain this soul?

I have my own theory, one that i'm comfortable with, but i don't wish to share it for fear of being ridiculed.

There are many things that can't be explained, and no-one has all the answers, but all i will say is that, once when i was incredibly sad, i was transported to the stars, i was in the universe and the love that i felt was unbelievable, i thought to myself, if this is what it feels like to die, then i'm not afraid anymore, and this is from a person who has had an issue with death from age 16.

I know what i felt and i know this is where i will go when my time is up, so for me i will go on, just like Celine Dion says "My heart will go on":smug:

The meaning of life is open to interpretation. Mine is to live it to the best of my ability because it's the only one I will get.

The only one you'll know of:smug:

You are 1000% correct Ruby -

All civilisations which were the most enlightened for their time, believed that the Earth was flat at some point in their history, including the Iron and Bronze Age Near Eastern cultures (now the Middle East) until the Hellenistic period - 323 BC to 146 BC, India until c 100 BC, China until the 1600's and ancient Greece until 6 BC.

Even in the time of Columbus, it was only educated people who knew that the Earth was round a great majority in Europe still believed in a flat earth.
