are we only here to wonder why we're here?

yeah it seems unreal that there is over
755 287 867 546 862 billions planets out there
and we are the ONLY existing planet
and we have YET to be hit from a asteroid
and science as still yet to explain where
black matter aka Outta-space came from
it is I.M.P.O.S.S.I.B.L.E for something to be made without coming from a source
we dont where the rocks came from that
made the planets that are now earth today
we may never know
like you said we may be in someones imagination for all we care

The butterfly dreaming it is a human is from Lao Tzu's philosophy, an ancient Chinese philosopher who had a sense of humor.
The question of what is real and what is not was also dealt with western philosophers. Rene Descartes wrote a brilliant essay on a person who woke up to find he was made of paper and everything was made of paper. An evil demon had changed the entire world into paper. You will be amused at the conculsion the paper person comes to, so I'll not tell you the conclusion.
What is real or not is something that fascinates people. It is sort of like an adult game of hide and seek. Just be sure you don't hide yourself too well.

If I am the figment of someone else's imagination, then that someone must have some issues, but I believe that I am here to do what I have to do even though I do not know what that is yet. I have to find my own way in this world. We all do.

Sometimes I think I am dreaming but don't know what I'll wake up to. Maybe I'll be in Heaven.
As far as the wondering why we're here, I don't like to think about that. Since I am here I will live my life to the fullest, love everyone around me & be happy!

You were created in the mind of God way back in eternity past, and He brought you into this world through your mother and father. You are here to know, love and obey God. You can only do that by asking Jesus Christ to forgive, remove and cleanse you from all your sins. Invite Him into your heart/life and live for Him the rest of your life. He will come into your heart/life to live there forever.

Am I a butterfly dreaming I am a woman, or am I bowling ball dreaming I'm a plate of sashimi? Will the Wind Fish ever wake up?
Video game philosophy, yay.

One of the mystic faiths believes we are just a dream of another being......
Maybe we're just a part of a computer program, like the Simms. Maybe "god" is some pimply faced teenager in another dimension drinking Mountain Dew, looking at porn and in between playing his virtual life game.
How do we know it's not?......

Questioning life is natural and even good in most cases. All animals prob'ly think about life and their place in the big picture. It kind of reminds me of the end of the movie "Men In Black" where the way our world is seen is really a whole different way.

No we are not just a figment of someone elses imagination. the Bible is not to complex. You have to read and meditate on GOds word to understand and the main thing is if you pray to God and ask him for understanding you will get. you have to understand what y Gods purpose is for mankind. When you realize the purpose of God for mankind. then you will understand. Its imperitive for you as an individual to read Gods word daily and pray to God for understanding and wisdom, you have to work with your prayers,you can not pray to God and sin your prayers will not be answered.

Pretty Deep. Anything is pretty much possible.
Try this one on for size...
What if we are really supposed to be Evil to get into "Heaven" and the Bible and religions are just tests to weed out the weak?
