The purpose of "this material" existence is to understand for oneself the futility of life separate from God. In Sanatan/Vaisnava Dharma (Hinduism to the common man) it is explained that the souls are neither created nor die but have been in existence since time immemorial.
The souls adopt material bodies according to their thoughts, desires and actions. The souls take numerous births in an attempt to find happiness in the material creation which has been provided by God for those who have chosen to try and live their life separate from Him.
Learning this simple lesson can take but a second or numerous lifetimes hence reincarnation to facilitate the learning process. Think of reincarnation and souls adopting material bodies as a virtual reality game or holodeck (for star trek fans). In the VR game or holodeck you are acting out your desires, fantasies etc and you can be deeply engrossed or after a little while you may desire to get back to normal life!

Purpose is to love and help others more than yourself, then you will find the purpose of existence

To strive to better ourselves & to make the world a better place for those that come after us.
Maybe there really is no purpose.
I sometimes think that we, here on earth, are some other beings science project. Like, at school, we had ant farms & we watched everything the ants did in their day to day lives. Maybe we are the ant farm & we are being studied. We Are The Experiment.

To find the purpose of existence. (Which I'm not going to reveal because we're not in the religion section.)

Earth is like a learning school, we came to learn our lessons called life, to experience everything then to go back and review our life on earth and see what we have learned from it. we all make mistakes in our decisions and we learn from it. Even though we don't remember it we picked to be born and the kind of life we will be living on earth. When our time is done we go back to the spirit world and we can come back if we want, it's our choice. you can read this in a book called " The journey of souls" by Michael Newton.

The chief end of man is to worship God and enjoy Him forever,that is why you exist,to worship the Creator that created you.You will never find true completeness apart from Christ! Christ makes life WORTH living everyday. Go to www.chick.com

everyone has their own purpose to exist, mabey its procration, mabey its to find "inner peace" but personaly my purpose is to have a laugh then die in some bizzare and strange situation, such as by chocking on a penguine chick or setting oneslef on fire.
