Then what is the point of having fun in life. If we can't remember it, what is the point of being alive if all we are all going to die. Why do we have to die, what is the point of death, and what is the point of life.

Probably, we live to die but it is a chance given by god to help earth. Also for the future smater species to explore, like we explore dinos today. To have fun in life?? Well it is worth dying after having fun in life or else you will think only in the end time of what you have missed. Also if we dont die we wont give chances to other which is not fair in my point and also the world will become more populated than ever.
Also if you live forever, you will have all the fun in your life and will see life pointless then you will actually wish to die. Think of people who have dieases like cancer if they dont die then they will have to suffer alot. And this is true that nothing is permenent in this world not even a star.

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.
So the bottom line is, we only have a temporary meaning to life, to reduce pain and increase pleasure, other than that everything is lost to oblivion.
To be or not to be? "To be" is temporary and "not to be" is inevitable.....

You might think I'm a stupid Bible thumper, but if you believe that the Bible is true, then you will after careful study realize that human beings were meant to live forever. Death was a punishment given to Adam and Eve and those after because they disobeyed a direct order from God. You know the story about Adam and Eve sinning in the Garden of Eden and believing the serpent Satan when he told Adam and Eve they positively would not die if they ate from the very tree God instructed them not to eat. God had given them everything, yet they betrayed him. God had meant for humans to live forever.
God plans to end death once and for all and destroy those who he deems wicked. People will again live forever. This is fortold in the Bible at Revelation 21:4 where it says: "[God] will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore."—
LIfe is a gift given to us by God. Think of all the things you enjoy everyday and that are beautiful to your eye. A loving God wanted us to enjoy life and be happy on the Earth. Though right now it doesn't seem that way because Satan the Devil is the ruler of this world, not God. Revelation 12:7-9 says: Woe for the earth and for the sea, because the Devil has come down to you, having great anger, knowing he has a short period of time."
So the Devil is here on Earth until God decides that it is time to step in. This is the point of view from the Bible. Whether you believe what's in the Bible or not, I'd say it's a solid explanation. Makes perfect sense to me.

A baby in the womb of his mother could theoretically ask himself the following questions.
What is the purpose for me of growing legs and arms if they are of no use here? What is the purpose of having lungs in this aquatic medium if I can't breathe air? What is the purpose of having eyes if I can't see?
Besides I will soon die to this world- the womb world- and there is nothing after this world.
Death is mistakenly considered as non-existence. It is in fact a word that means change from one type of existence to another. It is going from one dimension into a higher dimension of existence.
Death even in the physical sense does not exist. All the atoms of our body continue to exist. In some other form.
We were born to this world dying to the "womb world". We must die to the physical world to be born to the spiritual world to which we belong. Man's reality is spiritual not physical.
The purpose of this life is to acquire moral virtues which will be our instruments of progress in the spiritual realities.

Amazing question. Things are born because their mother gave birth. Why did "mother" give birth? For attention while she is here? To pass along a legacy of an empire built?
I have provided links to you for the following terms.
"World View" and "General Semantics".
There is also an article by Kahlib J. Fischer but I cannot find it easily accessible to the public online.

In a biblical way, People die because, the first humans sinned. When they sinned it separted us from God, which resulted to death for all humans. Don't be sad, enjoy life and do things for God, if so you will have another chance to live again. Death is not forever.

relying on who you worship as a larger spirit. The author of the earth and each and every of the planets made us the way be are for a reason. No different species (that all of us recognize of) has the talents to do what our minds can do. operating example, if we were all primates;and that i do not mean those from planet of the apes. How might want to we be able to construct issues which contain the Dubai towers, or underwater resorts. that is what i trust.

That's the only destiny that we all have in common. Whatever has a beginning has an end. Biologically speaking, we begin to die as soon as we're finished having children. So, the purpose of life is for it to carry on. As soon as we're done being helpful, we die.

life's point: to live it. experience all that is good and moral, and wait for death or rapture.
death's point: to show you an eternal life, or an eternal death
we have to die because nothing in the universe lasts forever. Matter is limited. Dude, just live now, ensure your afterlife (get saved) and wait...

No! If fact the human body completely renews itself every 7 years. If this life is all there is...then life itself is pointless. Jesus said, "Whosoever lives and believes in me, shall never die." Eternal life is what we are intended to have....And Christ makes it possible.
