Atheists since you say No God created Human Life, then does Human Exsistence have any Purpose?

Question

Or did the accident that caused Human Life (Big Bang Theory) have some intelligent matter that was able to determine Human Beings would have a greater purpose on the planet than animals, insects, plants?

Answer 1

every human being defines the purpose of their existence themselves

Answer 2

Okay, I'm not an atheist, but I had to comment on something. Science and philosophy are steadily bringing evidence to light which actually points TOWARD God, not away from Him. One example, believe it or not, is the Big Bang Theory. Yes, it did happen, but it's such an extravagant event perfectly fine-tuned for the existence of life, that more and more scientists are realizing that this could only be the result of intelligent design. The universe started out as being small enough to fit into your hand, but it has been increasingly expanding to become what it is today; and it continues to expand. The Big Bang did happen, but it wasn't some chaotic, sporatic accident. Scientists and philosophers alike have come to the conclusion that for the universe to have a beginning, then it has to have a creator. You don't just have something pop into existence from nothing for absolutely no reason at all. That's absurd. The laws of physics do not work that way. People say that it happened due to the collection of certain gases with such power and energy that there was a spontaneous combustion which caused the universe to exist. That's a rather absurd claim in itself, as even gases that strong cannot create such complex, physical creations. But very well, for the sake of argument, lat's say that these gases were the cause of the creation of the universe: where do you suppose the gases came from? What could have caused them, if there were no intelligent design involved? How does anyone account for the complexity and the fine-tuning of the universe to the exact degree which makes life a possibility? Exhaustive scientific and mathematical research have provided for the conclusion that if the temperature of the universe were altered even slightly in either direction, life would not be possible.

Answer 3

No, I believe there is no purpose. Such an idea is purely relative, since each of us has our own idea on what this "purpose" may or may not be. To dumb it down and make this easy for everyone to understand, each of us chooses our own purpose by thought and/or action. And for the record, we do not derve a greater purpose than many animals, insects, and plants. Plants convert carbon dioxide into oxygen, a key element required by animals. Humans create excessive amounts of poisonous or harmful gases and produce waste that the earth is unable to breakdown within a normal course of time. Insects create compounds useful to other forms of life, such as silk. They also help break down substances into useful forms, and they are a food source for other creatures. They also help keep the environment in homeostasis. Humans are more like viruses; they spread from one area to another consuming all the resources they can. We upset homeostasis. Animals serve as food sources, a source of recycling (when they die or excrete waste, their nutrients are reused by other sources), and another source of homeostasis. We kill animals, waste quite a bit of their useful parts in the process, and upset homeostatic environments in the process. We do contribute some when we die and are buried, but we take much more than we give.

It seems we may have a purpose after all. Perhaps we are here to destroy the world.

Answer 4

No more than any other creature (ie survive and procreate)

fortunately we get to make our own purpose. I personally feel it should be the betterment of the species.

The big bang theory attempts to explain how the universe was created not human life.

How do you know if we have a greater purpose? What is your greater purpose? worshipping your god? You really think that's a greater purpose?

Answer 5

People can create their own purpose in life, if they choose to do so. And I would never say that humans have any greater role in this lifetime than any other living things. We are very dependent on animals, plants, and insects. In a way, you could say the role they play is even greater than ours....they keep our species alive.

Answer 6

The purpose is to reproduce. Also, you are making a false assumption when you say that humans have a greater purpose than animals and plants.

Answer 7

No, human existence has no "given" purpose. But of course, humanity as a whole, and every human as an individual, can provide human existence with a purpose.

Answer 8

There is no purpose to life -
Exhibit A:
Paris Hilton was the biggest news story lately, even though Putin is talking about pointing nuclear missles at Europe.

Answer 9

What makes you think humans have any greater purpose than plants or animals? Aren't we all part of the same ecosystem, the same food chain? Awfully arrogant, if you ask me.

Answer 10

Why do you think there has to be a "BIG PURPOSE" that is handed down to us from on high ?

Maybe the universe just is? Maybe we are here just because? Maybe, since we are here, we should enjoy ourselves, lead interesting lives, help others, have family and friends, and try to improve the world by our actions and deeds.

Sorry, but just because you want to have "A BIG PURPOSE" doesn't mean that there is one.

Answer 11

Why do you have to have a divine purpose to make your life meaningful?

What makes you so sure we do have a greater purpose than animals or insects. Maybe we don't.
