Maybe Douglas Adams found out what 42 was all about when he crossed over. Lets break out a ouija board and ask him!

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.

There is NO DEFINITION for life. You can't go around saying that you know about life. You can only live to the fullest and actually be part of it. You can't actually define it. I don't care what dictionaries say. That is what I believe and I think it is quite true. Not trying to start an argument or anything ok. :)

There is no meaning, or at least no meaning that the human brain is capable of understanding. Space and matter has always been (a concept we can't understand), and life just evolved by random chance.
