80% of humanity, the religious folks, don't need to ask the meaning of life, the church tells them....the supernatural explanation. But the rest of us can't swallow religious dogma, because there's no evidence. Nobody can prove that there life after death, that people are tortured or rewarded after life or that there's invisible spirits running around.
I've come to two conclusions recently:
1. Life has no meaning
2. Life has a million meanings.
First, there's a certainty that death and annihilation awaits not only you, but the Earth in general. It's an astonomical certainty that our sun will supernova and leave the earth a burnt crisp, not to mention all the other extinction level events around the corner.
Second, the million things that give us meaning are the pleasurable experiences we can conjure up during the short period we are here on the earth, in the form of the relationships we have with our kids and other people, and the 'housekeeping' types of purposes. What i mean by that are the curing disease, ending hunger, improving literacy, reducing crime, preventing war, helping other kinds of things.

The answer you are looking for is in God! This planet was Created by God, aliens are from comic books and sci-fi movies. We are put on this Earth to do great things for our Lord God and His Son, Jesus Christ. You have to sincerely ask Him into your life and the Holy Spirit will actually reveal the whole meaning of life to you, You will be given wisdom, as well as understanding of God's Holy Word, in The Bible.
People would rather believe in little green men from Mars, than from the Christ who died on Calvary to Save us all from our sins and lead us into an Eternal Life with God when our life on Earth is over. We were not created for no reason at all, nothing ever came from nothing and nothing ever did. The greatest scientific minds in this world cannot yet explain why "A Black Cow that eats Green Grass, produces White Milk, that makes Yellow Butter!"........You really have to get out more, and hopefully find a good Christian Fellowship where you can Worship and there are many who will be only too glad to tell you about the reality of Christ in your life.....Never knock a thing until you try it....and this is the real thing.

The meaning of my life is to learn the meaning of my life. Think about it. When I fully know the meaning of my life, then there is no point in continuing to live life being as I know its meaning.

Just because we humans have the ability to reason some things does not mean that we have the ability to reason all things.
There is an infinite number of answers to this question.

Dear P. Spencer,
The meaning of life is draw near to the awesome uncreated Creator of the universe and to enter into a right relationship with Him through Jesus Christ.
Since we do have a Creator it only makes sense to get to know Him and what His purpose is for us. Do you know Him yet? I sure hope so.

Human beings have been placed on planet earth to resolve the angelic conflict.
God has a plan for man .
He has made a way of salvation for all of mankind.
Man chooses to go with God's plan or not.
The angelic conflict is resolved through man making the choice to go with God's plan for their life at the point of salvation.
The angelic conflict is resolved we die and go to wherever we have made the choice to spend eternity.
The meaning of life!
Take care!
