Meaning of life from my viewpoint:
1: I believe that each person has it's own purpose, it's individual meaning of life.
2: To enable life in general to continue (spreading genes).
3: To find a way of living forever - physically or mentally.
4: I also think that there could be a back-up plan with life in general that we should spread life throughout the universe.
5: To increase the surviving skills (either by finding outside methods like medicine, or spreading good genes).
Religiously the meaning of life is to find the right path, the path to eternal life (which should take care of point 3) according to the bible through love, faith and hope (but especially love). The meaning of life is also to make ourselves as good as we can possibly be. I guess that bothers some people that hold the rule of "not being something special". We are special, all other creatures have evolved to survive physically with physical means, but we have evolved mentally, not only through our brainsize but also through ideas and theories, there seem to be no limit to our mental potential.
I have a question; the cells produce chemicals through the genetic code, is there any way these chemicals can mix to create a poison? (just have to get rid of a old fear of mine
)
Better question, is there any way for the chemicals to mix to create...well...oxygen for example? Or something other that's good for life (except materials like skin and so on...).
I believe that the next step in evolution is to have mental control over our genes, that the genes can function as a part of the mind. Actually I think that's achievable at this time, but that it takes alot of skill and mental awareness (not to talk about self-control).
BTW: How do the testicles produce the sperms? I mean, what blueprint does it use to know which genes should be inside each? Is it random? Or are they (as the cells) divided and doubled? But then how come each sperm is genetically different from any other? Are they? I know it's alot of questions, but I really need to find this out, cause I have a nice theory that I came up with a couple of days ago.
