We were created in the image of God, we are here because He loved us. The best place to find the answers you seek is in the book of John of the Holy Bible.

To learn to love God and other people.
It is when we, and others, do not do this that we have problems and hardships in this life.
We go through life creating our own realities.
Our choices and decisions can either be self-centered, or centered on God and others.
It is selfishness and having no concerns for, or being thoughtless about God and others that causes issues.
This is what separates us from others animals, our spirituality and consciousness.
God has provided a way for us to live the best life possible.
It is through belief in Jesus Christ, who He was and what He did.
He IS the way,truth and life.
I have found, as has millions of others, that it is only through Him that we can restore our relationship with God.
Everything else is our own attempts to fill that spiritual void within us, that only God, through Christ, can fill.
This is what we were made for; to love and worship God, the creator of all things.
When we establish this relationship, we become filled with His love and His presence by His Spirit.
Love, to be love, must be given. Whole and selflessly committed to the care and concern of God and to others.
His love so fills us that we can then truly love Him and others to the full potential that He designed us to be while on this earth.
This is not something we can accomplish on our own.
This is the purpose of our being.

Life is the natural consequence of carbon based organic chemistry.
The First purpose in life is to eat.
The Second purpose is to keep from being eaten.
The Third Purpose is to reproduce.
After we have reproduced and our offspring are self sufficient, the only purpose we have left is to be eaten by bugs, worms, bacteria, and be reprocessed for the next cycle.
The great answer to Life the Universe and Everything is....
There is no answer.
The real solution that you have to wrap your mind around is there really is no question.

Good simple question? Understand the purpose of life and all would be clear-
Is there a purpose of life? What does it mean when men of wisdom say there is always a purpose in life? If there is life's purpose then why do most people while away their life without ever finding a purpose in life? What use living a purpose driven life without a defined purpose?
The answer to all the above queries on finding a purpose in life is the most crucial part of life for a human being. The purpose driven life is meant to be lived by living forms which have not yet evolved to the level of human beings. Why?
Simply because they are devoid of discriminatory powers to choose a goal in life! The insects, the plants and animals always live a purpose driven life. They simply have no goal in life. They are as they are. They simply have their existence and have to abide by the rules of evolution as defined by Charles Darwin in his theory of evolution.
Only when the living form reaches the level of a human being does one realize that human life is the highest manifest stage in the cosmic system. The moment a human being realizes that life has a purpose... one seeks the purpose of his life. Without a goal in life, Life seems to be incomplete!
As the child grows... one comes to learn that every human being has the potential of becoming a man god like Mahavira, Buddha, Jesus Christ and prophet Mohammed. Is that the crux of life! Is gaining salvation the end purpose of life!
If that be so... are we required to have a purpose in life linked to salvation as the present goal of life or is it that we can postpone traveling the spiritual path for the next manifestation.
The goal and the purpose of life for every human being are gaining enlightenment and finally salvation in the end. That may or may not be the purpose of life in the present manifestation. The purpose of life in the present phase can be best known by hearing the sweet small voice of our soul atman within our heart.
The purpose of life in every manifestation is driven by our soul atman within. It is our soul atman which has taken the body and not vice versa. The purpose of life is indirectly dictated by our soul atman within. If our deeds of the present life are not in consonance with the directives of our soul atman within... then heartburning, tensions and stresses become part of daily life.
Whatever act provides us complete relief... doing which we find extreme pleasure... something that we enjoy doing must form our goal of life. It is this goal of life pursuing which the purpose of our present life would be fulfilled. More here- http://www.godrealized.org/life/purpose_driven_life.html

Science explains our existence in a non-faith based approach. In other words...they have evidence.

You'll have to make your own meaning in life. Set goals and work your best to complete them.

You are here so you could ask this question and someone could be here to try and answer it. If you weren't here you probably wouldn't have any real awareness to compare not being here with, so you wouldn't have asked the question in the first place.

The meaning of life is love.
Rev 4:11 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.

There is no-one answer to this question, as to the judgment of the man soul is cloud by what they have experienced. Yet everyone can tell you there view.
