People have long wondered about the meaning of life on earth. They have looked at the huge star-filled sky. They have admired a colourful sunset and the beauty of the countryside. Thinking persons have reasonedthat there must be some grand purpose to all things. But often they have wondered where they fit in.(Psalm 8:3,4
At some time in life most people ask:Are we just to live a short life, and then die? Where are we going? Is there more that we can expectthan the brief cycle of life and death?(Job14:1,2) What will help us to understand this matter is the answer to the question: How did we get here?Evolution or Creation? In some places it is commonly taught that everything we see just happened by itself, that it came about by chance or accident. Over millions of years, it is said, life evolved, or developed, from lower forms until finally humans came into existance. In many parts of the earth this theory of evolution is taught as fact. But is it true that we came from an
apelike beast that lived milloions of years ago? Did this great universe just come about by accident?
The Bible says: "In the beginning God vreated the heavens and the earth"(Genesis1:1) And the facts of science agree that the heavens with their billions of stars, and our earth had a beginning. They were created. The movements of the stars andthe planets are so regular that even years in advance their position can be determined with perfect accuracy. The stars and planets move in the universe according to the laws and principles of mathematics. A professor of mathematics from the University of Cambridge, P Dirac, said, in the magazine Scientific American: "One could perhaps describe the situation by saying that God is a mathematician of very high order, and He usede very advanced mathematics in constructing the universe."
The Bible states: "Know that Jehovah is God. It is he that has made us and not we ourselves."(Psalm100:3) Our human body shows such wonderful design that one Bible writer was moved to say to God: "I shall laud you because in fear-inspiring way I am wonderfully made.....My bones were not hidden from you when I was made in secret....Your eyes saw even the embryo of me, and in your book all its parts were down in writing." (Psalm139:14-16) A baby develops inside its mother in a wonderful way. Newsweek magazine said this: "It is, quite, a miracle.:Then it added:"No technique can pinpoint the momentous time of conception. No scientist can tell what wonderous forces then take over to develop the organs and myriad nerve networks of a human embryo."
Think about our great universe, as well as our own body with its wonderful construction and design. Sound reasoning should tell us that these things did not simply evolve or come by themselves. They had to have a Sesigner. a Creator. Consider other things that we we see around us. When you are in your house ask yourself: Did my desk , lamp,bed, chair,table, walls, or even the house itself, evolve? Or did they need a maker? Of course intelligent persons had to make them! In what way, then can it be claimed that our much more complex universe and we ourselves did not require a maker? And if God put us here, he surely had a reason for doing so.

For years people have been trying to find the exact meaning of life, but no one has really came across the exact definition. It varies from person to person

maybe its best not to know.... maybe the answer could be sooo big that it could change the compleat way we look at life... but i think if we at least want to come close to knowing we should try to be good and have respect for other... and also try to enjoy life to the max at the same time....

It is to have a good time and to remind people that forget that it is about having a good time.
