The simplest answer is usually the right one. There IS no point. Now, spiritually speaking, those of us who are religious, the point is to see if you are worthy of going to heaven. To give you an opportunity in life to see what you do with it. But me personally? There is no freaking point. We work, we go home, we deal with teenagers who are idiots and at some point MUST have been dropped on their heads, we cook, we clean, we do laundry, we pay bills, we play taxi driver, then FINALLY we get to take a shower and go to bed just to get up and do it all over again. Since you can't take it with you, whats the point of it all anyways.

We're here for only a moment in time.
Secular reasoning would dictate one just enjoy, be nice, and leave the seat down.
Those that subscribe to a more spiritual significance would submit one is here to know God and to make Him known.
To study His teachings and strive to become more like Him.
He states we are to be a kingdom of priests - first to the Jews and later to the Gentiles - to rule and reign with Him. With responsibility like that we had better know how He wants it done.

From a biological point of view, reproduction to maintain the species. But I like Carl Sagan's thought: "If you want your life to have significance, do something significant."

I agree that things are much simpler than many make it - I think they make life so complicated so they don't have to honest with themselves or others

I think its to live life as a decent human being. To do the best you can and listen to your intuition/conscience. I believe humans have a reflex to know what is decent and what is not.

Point of life is to think and do good, avoid evil, and to purify ur mind.
Evil is anything that will hurt u or others.

From the Catechism of the Catholic Church:
356
Of all visible creatures only man is "able to know and love his creator."219 He is "the only creature on earth that God has willed for its own sake,"220 and he alone is called to share, by knowledge and love, in God's own life. It was for this end that he was created, and this is the fundamental reason for his dignity:
What made you establish man in so great a dignity? Certainly the incalculable love by which you have looked on your creature in yourself! You are taken with love for her; for by love indeed you created her, by love you have given her a being capable of tasting your eternal Good.221
357
Being in the image of God the human individual possesses the dignity of a person, who is not just something, but someone. He is capable of self-knowledge, of self-possession and of freely giving himself and entering into communion with other persons. And he is called by grace to a covenant with his Creator, to offer him a response of faith and love that no other creature can give in his stead.
358
God created everything for man,222 but man in turn was created to serve and love God and to offer all creation back to him:
What is it that is about to be created, that enjoys such honor? It is man—that great and wonderful living creature, more precious in the eyes of God than all other creatures! For him the heavens and the earth, the sea and all the rest of creation exist. God attached so much importance to his salvation that he did not spare his own Son for the sake of man. Nor does he ever cease to work, trying every possible means, until he has raised man up to himself and made him sit at his right hand.223
