Why are us living things here on this earth, if there is a god, like people say there is he must have really thought things through, to give us a world, design us with hair, digestive systems etc. Provided us with living fruits to eat etc.
But what is the point? Why are we here? What purpose are we serving?
Or do you believe, as I do, that we're here, on earth, this time in our life just purely to learn, to experience good and bad things, to prepare us for our next life, or next stage should I say? Anybody else belive what I do? Got anything to back it up with? Or anymore thoughts?

I believe life is a test, God is separating the intelligent from the ignorant. God wants the best we have to offer.

Yeah, I believe what you do. To me, we are a soul first, then we are given a physical body so we can experience all the six senses. If we were only a soul, we couldnt experience the same. so we decide before we are born whether we want to reincarnate. I believe we plan it out with God beforehand so our soul can learn what it needs to.
No one can really back anything up these days tho cuz everything can be debated, especially here on R&S. Most of what I believe comes from everything I've read and heard. I've studied all the religions I'm aware of, non-religious material, and new age and buddhist thought. I then come to my own conclusion as to what "feels" right, ie intuition, my sixth sense.
I also believe we are in the end times, and once we are done here, we will have a new "perfect" physical world as our heaven.

I fully agree with your beliefs, except I don't think they answer the question.
We eventually die anyways. Whether it's after another few lives, or at the end of this one. We could say that we exist to pave the way for future generations that we will create during our lives, but in the end, that's not really going to amount to anything, is it?
If I changed the world so that my kids could have a happy life with everyone else's kids, and then over and over, I know that eventually this will cease to happen.
Eventually the human race will cease to exist, and all our developments will have come to nothing. We may just about escape the end of the world, but what about the end of the next?
What about the end of the universe?
Everything that has a beginning has an end.

We Humans are here, so that we may enlarge god's kingdom. which is already starting here on earth and working it's way up to heaven. We are here to spread the world of god, so that sooner or later( depending on God) the whole world will worship him. There will be no more bad things on this earth, bevause jesus is coming again to destory this earth and jugde those who dont belive in him.
why live for a wrold that going to be destoryed any day now?
I rather live for the next life, which is heaven. And we get to heaven by passing through Jesus christ.
Hopes this helps
God bless

Human dominates the earth because of procreation. Our lives are a perfect cycle we go into. It is a matter of time. However, there time may be different from ours in terms of development. We rule the world purposely because of the life we are into. We serve because the society is there to do such obligations. I may agree with you the thoughts that life is for experience but to prepare for the next life is somewhat subjective. I don't need to prepare for my life on the next stage becuase i believe in myself that so long as you do good to your brethren then this will in return come back to you.Just be yourself and serve in righteousness. That's what we are for in this world.

We are here to experience a physical existence -- and we are SUPPOSED to be having FUN.
We are spiritual beings having human experiences which, with each lifetime lived, will enable us to become closer and closer to our Source.
I agree with you, but I perceive the next "stage" to be a fourth dimensional existence (no time, no space, purity of thought and heart).

The point is to have a relationship with our Creator. That's what we were first made for. :) Those who know Christ will be with him in eternity, but those who reject him will be apart from him forever.. Apart from everything good, right, and loving, which is God.. In a place called hell, because there is no God there.

Our devine purpose is to live by the laws of the Lord God
the 10 Commandments
We either choose to follow the Lord or we are simply on
our own and do as we please our way

We were put here to commune with God and each other in total harmony, love and bliss. But, we screwed it up when we wanted to do things our own way instead of God's way.

I am here on earth because my species evolved and I am here to help continue the survival of my species.
