Very good question, and obviously you will get the standard cut/paste type religious reply.
However, if we assume the universe was created, then it’s reasonable to assume there was a creator. That’s as far as science has progressed today, but just look how far religion has progressed.
Religion states (fact) there was a creator called God, that God still exists, God also created places called Heaven & Hell, God wrote an instruction book called the Bible, God will banish evil people to Hell, God will send good people who follow the Bible to heaven, that people referred to in the Bible (like Jesus) will return to Earth, and a whole raft of other statements of fact. That’s right, religious fact, not assumptions.
Now tell me truthfully, if science doesn’t even know yet whether the universe was created or not, but religious believers state: “not only was the universe created by God, here’s a whole lot more proof and facts to go with it, what do you think?
Either religious believers just have vivid imaginations or suffer from a common mental illness. I think commonsense and logic would suggest that religious believers are mentally handicapped.

For God's pleasure. This really is a beautiful place we live in, don't you think? He gave us everything we need to live and serve and honor Him.
Why Are We Here? The Logical Conclusion
Why are we here? God created us because it pleased Him to do so. This message is consistent throughout the pages of Scripture, and nowhere said more succinctly than by the Apostle John in Revelation 4:11, where he has a vision of Heaven and witnesses the four elders prostrate before the Lord of all Creation, saying:
Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
We are created for His pleasure. From the first page of Scripture to the last, that message is clear. We are created for His pleasure. Further, the Apostle Paul wrote in Colossians 1:16: For by Him were all things created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones or dominions or principalities or powers: all things were created by Him and for Him.

When I was a Boy Scout and we went camping, the leaders said "Always leave the campground cleaner than how you found it." While I do not believe in a "reason" or "purpose" of life, it seems to me that we should strive to leave the world a better place than it was when we entered it. How? By acts of kindness, compassion and charity toward others, just because it's the right thing to do.

I don't give reasons...Human reasoning is nearly always faulty...But the TRUTH is simple! YOU are HERE to develop GOD's CHARACTER--the way He thinks,acts,speaks,conducts Himself! WHY??? Because Satan and his demons REFUSED to develop CHARACTER! They were DISQUALIFIED from ever entering into GOD's Royal Realm again! That meant GOD had to REPRODUCE HIMSELF through MANKIND! WE were born to RULE with GOD this Earth and the Universe! "Let Us make MAN in OUR image"--THINK!--YOU now have limited god-like powers of creativity! But,if you so choose,you will become a Royal Son or Daughter of a Royal King! CHRIST was merely the "First-born of many brethren"--He paved the way for US! READ your Bible--not a bunch of silly tales concocted to BLIND YOU from your destiny! Satan is FURIOUSLY JEALOUS of Mankind! He DECEIVES so many from the TRUTH to keep them under his control! HIS future is soon to be over forever! OUR future has just begun! READ the rewards of RULERSHIP in Revelation--first 3 chapters and you will be filled with hope! "GOD" is the name of the ROYAL FAMILY!--The GOD Family! As a Prince or Princess,you are being tested and tried to see JUST WHAT KIND OF PERSON YOU REALLY ARE! GOD will NEVER AGAIN have a rebellious member in His Realm! So the stakes are VERY HIGH! After all--YOU and I will exercise AWESOME POWER over Planets,Stars,Suns,Moons,Quasars,and so on. This EARTH is merely a launching pad for eternity! But we MUST have GOD's loving,giving character inside us FIRST! Or we will simply will not be there or anywhere beyond our temporary life-span! We are "clay" models of GOD--the final masterpiece comes when we behave as GOD always has--with perfect love,mercy,patience,kindness--but NO COMPROMISE with doing what is right! I hope this has helped you!

Were supposed to join gangs, do drugs and have sex 24 hours, were supposed to be pimps and whores say what the heck, there is no sin and have a good time in life.
All that will lead you to death, so to all those who do, dont.
Trun around and find the truth, Hes waiting for you, no human man.

we're always sad when something good is taken away as if we want it to last forever. this means we're equipped with eternity-mindset. so the reason behind life is to prepare what's to come after it.. eternity and beyond.
