I think the point to life is to live, learn, love, and grow. We're here for a short time, so in this time we should try to accomplish all we can before it's over, then teach our own children to do the same.

The point is that we are not this material body, IE; Race, color, nationality, Religion, mind, intellect, senses, job, etc. We are all eternal spirit souls, part and parcel of the Supreme Soul, also known as Krishna, Allah, Jehovah, Vishnu, etc. We never die, only this mortal body dies. This material world is not our real home, it is called Maya (illusion) and is temporary and full of misery, only one fourth of the souls come here, and the rest are enjoying blissful eternal loving relationships with our Maker named above. We fell here due to envying Gods position. He made the material world for those who want to try to live separately from Him (Which is impossible because He is actually everywhere). After many lifetimes of trying to be happy in this temporary world one becomes frustrated and board and begins to question their existence. We then seek out real happiness, and when one becomes sincere God reveals how to come back Home. Those who are intelligent, take up the process of self realization (Bhakti Yoga) which begins with the chanting of the Maha Mantra (the great mantra for deliverance from all suffering and illusion), which gives one real peace, happiness and reality. Then at the end of life they can give up all material attachments and fully surrender to God and return to the eternal Kingdom, where there is no more birth, death, old age, or disease and be eternally happy. For info. Go to harekrishnatemple.com Read Bhagavad Gita- As it is by Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada asitis.com can be read on line. To come to our constitutional position is the point in life. I am so glad I know who I am now.

Consider reading "Climb the Highest Mountain," Mark Prophet, "Men in White Apparel," Ann Ree Colton, and "The Reincarnation of Edgar Cayce?", Free and Wilcock, http://www.divinecosmos.com for some "pointers" and good insights.

Point to life requires a plan to our existence and the only possible planner of our existence is God.
Without God, there is no point. It is illogical to think that we can invent our own reason for our own existence. With that, I know the following answers cannot be true:
“One has to devise one's own point to life” and “the point to life is to live, learn, love, and grow”
I also know that natural processes such as evolution do not plan anything and therefore cannot give purpose, meaning or a point to our existence. With that, I know the following answers cannot be true:
“to survive to the end, and continue on the human species” and “The only objective answer to this question is reproduction and evolution!”
“Unless you assume a God, the question of life’s purpose is meaningless.” –Bertrand Russell
If we admit that God might exist, we can immediately see that He must have put our intense need for purpose and meaning into our human nature to point us to seek Him. So the point to life is to seek our Creator.

in theory, no. One has to devise one's own point to life. There may be a universal point to life, a need for the universe to be understood or perhaps something I am unable to grasp, but every human requires their own point to life. Surely it can't be to reproduce, that's not a desired factor for everyone. Speaking philosophically, one might say, to question.

Not in my opinion. There's absolutely no point to anything. It's all futile. What is life but a journey towards death?

The only objective answer to this question is reproduction and evolution! Than every religion, culture and society has a different answer to this question that is dependent on spiritual belief.
