You might think that this is a silly question but it has been going about in my mind for quite sometime. Just think, what would've happened if humans did not exist? Would it effect the space, time, universe or anything? I don't think so. Are we just made to grow up, earn mney, fame n name, increase the popoulation and then die? No, there must be some reason, thnk for a minute and then temme, what was can be the reason behind creating us?

were not "made" for any purpose, were just a biological coincidence which happens to be able to think

I'm a bit of an existenialist, I don't think we are born with a purpose. At the time of conception, you are just the result of a race of millions of potential humans, those others are as much "you" as your siblings are "you." So we are all nothing but the lucky winners of the lottery of life (well it depends if you see living as a good or a bad thing.) I don't think some great plan for our future exists when our existence was that unlikely (especially if you think of the number of eggs and the number of sperm your parents make in their lifetimes.)
I think we are not "born to be" but we "become." Any purpose we have is one we make for ourselves.It also means what we do with our lives is entirely our call. If we are born with a specific destiny, would we inevitably achieve that destiny? If we didn't achieve our destiny decided before our birth, then would it mean we are failures and worthless?
What I like to do is use my mundane work and my mundane life as a means to an end, to further better myself. We are actually doing everything for the 'day' so to speak, as everything we do achieve and do will eventually be forgotten anyway but we still do it anyway, seeing the value of it in the present and the near future.
Life itself has no real purpose either in my opinion other than to continue. It constantly rejuvenates itself by meiosis and reproduction for as long as it can. I see it as a great experiment of sorts (maybe intentional, maybe accidental) to have a force in the universe able to consciously or subconsciously affect the world around it and to make changes. Life has changed this planet, had there been none then Earth would be yet another planet in the Solar System.

When we don't have the perfect answer we human will come up with one. Usually the answer will end with God being the creator of all things. Our craving to know the actual truth seem quite easy to accept the idea of a super being that made everthing possible. Yes, if this is the case then it is also seem possible He created conscious beings like us humans is because He wants Himself to be known of His greatness and that is all He is interested in. Just like a scientist if he discovers or invented something definitely he wants people to know about what he has stumbled upon. If this is true with humans then it bears to reason the being that we call God has that similarity too but of course far more complicated then we can thing of.

We as humans exist because a higher power created us to please our creater. The Bible says we have been created in the image of God. I believe this too be true but not as we appear in our human form but in an Ora that we as humans all have. An energy field of light that emits from our being. When we pass on and our soles are united with the Creator I believe knowledge we have now of life on Earth will be insignificant. The human body as it exists on Earth is a highly sophisticated and intelligent creation and our knowledge we have obtained so far is only a small fraction of what we are capable of and full knowledge will only be obtained in the after life. In order to survive in our short time we have in this life on earth our Creator gave our earthly bodies the necessary body parts to achieve the life we have and in the after life these bodies will no longer necessary and we will have full knowledge of the universe and will be as Gods ourselves as an energy source being able to move about the vast Galaxy's and entire heavens when ever we choose. Or it's just simply evolution and we got lucky we ended at the top of the food chain.

You find your own reason and purpose as you go through life. You make choices, you live through experience, create numerous blunders and mistakes, have your own values and virtues to follow. Society has a say but in the end, that responsibility is yours and yours alone. You can have a dim or bright outlook of life, the choice is yours. I'm not saying either one is right, it's just the way it is. If you truly have "lived" your life, death should not be daunting but rather a blessing. The end of a long, sometimes tedious, sometimes fun, but a fulfilled journey.

What would happen if humans did not exist? well probably the earth could be full of dinosaurs all sort of creepy creatures, and the world would be so dull without us. no we are made for such a purpose that up to now i still dont know what is my purpose on earth is, the only thing i could think of of is that i was made to know that god really is there and to love my parents and to teach children.

I do not believe we were made by chance, yet by design. Look at all of the components that go into us, the complexity of the DNA strand-the 'machines' designed to assemble (and disassemble us,) the entire concept of space and time, and the Prime Mover...no it's no cooincidence, that's for sure. Maybe we are made to learn, to help each other and for the most important, to love.

What a good question! Since you asked "what can be the reason for creating us?" I would think that you believe we were were created. We were made (created) to have fellowship with God, but since man (mankind) sinned we became separated from Him (spiritual death). God is righteous and perfect and had no choice but to hold us guilty of sin. God then sent His Only Son to be born as one of us, Jesus the Christ (Christ is a title which means Savior). He was born as one of us but had one Divine and one human parent. Since His Father is Divine he was accepted by God to be a sacrifice for our sins to bring us back into fellowship with God to bring us back from spiritual death and have spiritual life again if we believe and trust that Jesus did this for us. I think that since you have been thinking about why we were made God wanted you to know this so that you too could become his child. Have you ever prayed to Jesus and told him that you believe in Him and trust Him and want Him to come into your heart so that you may become spiritually alive again? If not, just ask Him and He will do it! I will be praying. God Bless You!

If we didnt exist, there would be more species on this planet, there would be no polution, no wars, no murder, no rape, no love, no thought, no laughter, no cuddling, and nobody to ask this question.
If we do something today, how many other people, animals, plants and so forth does our action affect. We do have a purpose, our purpose is, whatever we believe our purpose is.....

We are made in the image of God. We have the capacity to think and love. The choice is ours.
