the meaning of life is growth and evolution.
the meaning of death is stagnation.

I don't think anyone can say for certain the true reason for our existence other than possibly experiencing life in the capacity of gaining experience and perspective from the angle of a small cog in a huge machine that we are all part of, the data from that experience and perspective gathered into the collective and being redistributed back into us as instinct and inherited knowledge to be built upon as we move forward in our spiritual, emotional and intellectual evolutionary development. In other words, to be interpreted as all life is growth, learning and development. That is what my brain tells me about the meaning of life.
My heart holds a slightly different interpretation of what the meaning of life is. I believe the true purpose of our existence as humans is to experience love- every kind of love. To love your parents and family as a child, to love your friends, to love your spouse, children and grandchildren. If you are very fortunate you might be lucky enough to love someone who could be called a "soul mate" (which opens up a whole other can of worms), or you could be one of those wonderful people with enough love in your heart for all people- even those you do not know. I think that learning to love ALL people is the ultimate goal and is necessary if we ever wish to attain the elusive "Heaven on Earth" that we've all heard about our entire lives.
They are only constructs we humans thought up in order to keep balance to our pathetic society. Rape, killing, hatred, greed etc are neither evil or good. Just emotions (programs and actions(Moving atoms).

How does one explain consciousness in your little theory that everything I meaningless?
Technically speaking matter is composed of Smaller and smaller particles and the current working "theory" is that matter is composed of strings... Strings have no ability to react... or think... nor do complex molecules...
Nor does the electrical impulses within our bodies without something making all of it work in synchronicity

Doesn't change the fact that all is meaningless. Doesn't matter if a god exists or not, all is meaningless or pointless.

That isn't a fact to everyone my friend... only in recent years have people decided that life has no meaning...
And that is because we do not act according to our own nature...
Our life is confined to various boxes... which is unnatural to our species... 100 some odd years ago we used to sit around fires and tell stories... now we stare at screens all day... we're disconnected from God in this time...
Not all of us though... There are many who realise who we are... and life is NOT meaningless brother...
Its really sad people think this way these days....
Read this if you have time... might knock a bit of sense into you
Who are you?

As for where we come from. Humans come from nothing and are nothing. To exist is pointless for existence never had a point. So littled16 how does it feel knowing your existence is nothing? That your life isn't even a life, but merely and empty void that in a state of probability.
Everything is pointless......nothing matters my dear.

Aren't you just all warm and fuzzy inside? I wonder what happened to make you so cold toward the world and your existence, and per your signature what makes you really hate women so much. I think that maybe you don't see existence as pointless so much as you are angry about your experiences- especially with women. Just a guess.
