if there is no g-d what is the purpose of existance?

Answer 1

All of us encounter that wall in our lives. Creationists stay on the side they started on while Evolutionists climb over it.

Answer 2

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.....

Answer 3

There is no purpose beyond that which we make for ourselves. People who can't accept that need g-d to tell them what they live for. But if you look at our life honestly, we don't choose to live, we don't choose the conditions of our birth, we don't choose when or how we die unless we commit suicide and most of us are the product of accidental pregnancies. So why do people expect our existence to mean something more?

Answer 4

There is no purpose for existance. Because we might need one, doesn't mean it exists.

Answer 5

dont thoughts like really freak you out and make you think maybe your life isnt real and life after death is an eternity of darkness and nothingness i hate thoughts like that thats why people made religion so people would belive that they had something to live for and belive. this is why i admire the human race so much only the human race could poses such an elaborate thought. Part of the belief of religion is what i believe to be sort of a survival skill you what i mean

Answer 6

There isn't one. Make your own purpose! Do you need some magical man in the sky to hold your hand all the time?

Answer 7

1. Everyone knows, that absolute temperature T=0K cannot be reached.
We can only indefinitely come nearer to her.
2. Everyone knows, that nobody can reach
absolute speed of quantum of light c=1.
We can only indefinitely come nearer to her.
3. But everyone also knows, that only quantum of light goes with
absolute speed c=1.
It is the fact, it is a reality.
Question: Unless can this absolute movement c=1 occur in relative reference frame ?
Answer: No.!
The absolute movement can occur only in absolute frame of reference.
But only one absolute frame of reference is known T=0K
(which is impossible to reach).
And only in her quantum of light can move with the absolute speed c=1.
And it is also reality.
So, what can tell quantum of light about his travel in the Infinity, parallel world?
=================
To know something about the “God “
is necessary to know (at first) only one absolute quantity.
It is the Infinity/ Eternity Vacuum: T=0K.

Answer 8

To create wealth for our corporate masters while they flash trinkets in front of us hoping we'll be comfortable enough not to realize we're getting the shaft everyday.

Answer 9

To help others and try to make the messed up world a better place.

Answer 10

There is no purpose.

Humans are just clever plants - we grow, we die.

We're all in this mess together so we might aswell make it as pleasant for each other as possible.
