Before i go deeper into the question, let's first state the following things, to prevent discussion about God, evolution theory and science. It's a thought-experiment so it doesn't need to be factual.
OK, lets state that:
1. Its 2907
2. Evolution theory is real and accepted
3. We have created a device that can create 2 other universes, but causing the destruction of our own.
4. Scientists and philosophers agree that the meaning of life is: To create two universes and take survival of the fittest to a universal scale.
5. When the universes are created ours is destroyed, but the two new will be filled with human dna, so that our species will thrive in two universes
6. String theory (and thus multiple universes are real)
Ok then, the questions are:
I: Could the meaning of life be a godlike creation of new universes?
II: would anyone want this?
III: Can survival of the fittest be a intergalactic issue?
A lot of reading, but I'm interested in your answers!

It's hard to imagine an answer because you're asking us to imagine a world where illogic is logical. It would be like asking us to imagine a world where 1 plus 1 is not 2.

Interesting thoughts. First, to answer your three questions: yes, maybe, and possibly. Sorry I can't be more specific or explanatory. Your postulate sort of sets up the argument for an infinite continuum though, doesn't it? A question to ask yourself is, when and where did the present universe begin, or was there even a beginning? Is time infinite in both directions, or in one direction only? How would this effect your proposal? What issues of morality does it raise?

What is interesting is not only are we carrying forward the physical fundamental essence of our being but our fundamental arguments for existence. And I suppose that is the conundrum of our current existence itself because it generates this kind of issue.
It is a nice thought experiment. But how much different from a philosophical viewpoint for mankind is it from leaving here and going there?
If we left this part out of however. It would be interesting to see if the future fundamental questions for life will be the same or not. It would be like the Star Trek mission in a sense where we are not to interfere with any of it.

Any meaning that is "created" would still have a questionable objective or ultimate meaning. We'd be at square 1 only totally insane.
