The meaning of life

Since the dawn of time, the ultimate question has been asked in a number of ways. Why do we exist? What is the meaning of life? Does God exist? What is the origin of the universe? How does the world exist, and what is its origin or source of creation? Why is there something rather than nothing?

This site offers you the possibility to discuss this fundamental metaphysical question with others. It also allows you to share your opinion and react to other people's points of view. What do you believe in? What do you think is the meaning of life?

Whether you are a believer, an atheist, an agnostic, or a clever mix of all three, you are welcome! Your point of view can be serious, absurd, even bordering on completely nuts. However, the following two things are essential to this dialogue: respect and an open mind.

Respect: you may defend your opinion and try to prove the falsity of another, but it is forbidden to attack its author directly. Fascism and generalisations are strictly verboten!

An open mind: if you can't handle having your convictions being put into question, this might not be the place for you. For this same reason, a sense of humour is highly recommended! If your beliefs forbid their being made fun of, you might not want to participate in this dialogue.

You don't have to register in order to be able to comment or to start a new thread. We do, however, highly recommend that you register. By doing this, you can easily look up everything you've posted and, if you like, modify it. You'll also be able to track new threads and new comments.

I was walking home super stoned and a thought popped into my head
The meaning of life is the key to theoretical thinking
I couldn't understand this sentance fully and don't think i ever will.
Occasionaly when smoking i have extremely deep thoughts, some have triggered panic attacks. However, the above phrase left me speechless and really made me see life in a different way for somereason.

I kinda think that theoretical thinking is the reason to take a chance
And everything eventualy reacts by chance
Why is it that singled cell organisms, being unconcious, have no choice, in purpose or function
Yet us human beings have managed to evolve by testing theorys and making a choice
There seems to be no purpose between being instructed what to do by nucleic acids (like a singled cell organism) and being able to make a choice in life (like a homosapien)

The big bang theory
To Hydrogen atoms colliding or something?
This happened by chance, a chemical reaction is always by chance.
The mass hydron colider thing tried to replicate this i believe.
Everything can be solved by theory. I take chemistry.
Alot of the work we do is all theory and all logic.

So to know the meaning of life, we have to relise the purpose to come up with a theory.
Something like that.
Thats what my phrase has inspired me to say.
