Anyone who thinks logically can realize that we weren't put on earth so that after we die to go to heaven.
Actually the Bible says that the man was created to live forever on an earthly paradise.
"Further, Jehovah God planted a garden in E′den, toward the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed." -- Genesis 2:8
"Further, God blessed them and God said to them: “Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth and subdue it, and have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving upon the earth."" -- Genesis 1:28
"With that Jehovah God put him out of the garden of Eden to cultivate the ground from which he had been taken. And so he drove the man out and posted at the east of the garden of E′den the cherubs and the flaming blade of a sword that was turning itself continually to guard the way to the tree of life." -- Genesis 3:23,24
The Bible says that paradise will be restored on earth. In other words, God's purpose concerning earth and men has been only delayed.
"But there are new heavens and a new earth that we are awaiting according to his promise, and in these righteousness is to dwell." -- 2 Peter 3:13
"And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." -- Revelation 21:4
The delay happened because of Adam's and Eve's sin. But God sent his son and through his sacrrifice we can obtain what our first parents lost.
"So, then, as through one trespass the result to men of all sorts was condemnation, likewise also through one act of justification the result to men of all sorts is a declaring of them righteous for life." -- Romans 5:18
"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus, who gave himself a corresponding ransom for all—[this is] what is to be witnessed to at its own particular times." -- 1 Thimothy 2:5,6

Preparation for the next. We live in a world of struggle. Will we still serve Christ? If so, we have the rest of eternity to share in the many adventures of God. Who can imagine what the infinite mind of the universe has in store?
But we know that those who veg on the earth now, who indulge in self, will find the next world much less pleasant and altogether deserved, as they have deliberately not fulfilled their reason for being before their Creator.

Yes, I agree that now not a few individuals, however everybody are positioned on the earth for a cause and in addition that the whole lot occurs for a cause. I will likely be watching up Ben Bleedlove on YouTube surely after this query. As for Usain Bolt, it most likely is so (even though with all of the doping and in general now not being competent to identification this by way of present blood exams, I am consistently just a little weary at being "in awe" over athletes like this). As for Beyoncé, I do consider that she is gifted and lovely and in addition appears to be a sexy quality character--------the one difficulty I have with you associating her this is the truth that she in general does now not get dressed modestly like Christian ladies are known as to and that a few of her lyrics and dance actions don't seem to be very first rate.

No. But we exist due to natural selection and the process of evolution over billions of years on a planet suitable for life.
Aside from that, we can create new purposes. Our reasons can be whatever we wish: To treat others with kindness, study the universe, enjoy time with family, cultivate hobbies, or anything else we choose to draw meaning from.

I mean we halt to be put here for a reason It is mathematically impossible to say that there is no other life in the universe and they could be guiding is to what we want or what they want but in order to figure it out we need to break the very physics that we thought couldn't be broken

Reason?
Lol!!!
Why would pain & suffering have a reason?
There is no understanding to this dogma madness!
Simply put, if there is an almighty being who created us & stuffed us in the dilapidated environment, diseased, crippled, aging, helpless, then he or it deserves the worst punishment ever given to a criminal.
What innocent baby deserves to be born in such filth, anyway?
Peace!

To take care of the animals and the Earth. We are the caretakers of the world. We helped begin it and we will end it if we are not careful. God bless everyone in this world and everyone whose left it!

OH YA! All human life in important and we were put here to make our choice. Do we want God in our life or not? Are we willing to trust His Word to us, or not? Do we want to spend eternity with Him or without Him? God clearly makes Himself known to each one of us in some way then lets us make the decision. There is no force and no coercion. Each one of us has to then make that choice to believe Him or not.

That depends on each person. Some people are born to entertain us with their athletic prowess. Some people are born to be surgeons. Some are musicians, some painters, some scientists - it all depends on each individual person.
