All anyone has right now is theories.
And logic...(Pildit)
No the question was what do I do that isn't to do with survival. Well... I write posts like this for one, I watch TV, I play video games... plenty, however what I said still applies because if I didn't have enough food, water or shelter I'd be spending my time looking for those or working towards them in some way instead.
The question was what do you do that goes against survival INSTINCTS.(Kalixx)
I fully agree that IF life was created for a reason, then there IS a purpose to it. But one does not answer the other. Whether life has a purpose is the same question as was life created for a reason.Why is there "something rather than "nothing"? I guess just about every thinking human has pondered that one . Sometimes I try to imagine the universe as empty, totally devoid of all matter, just pure, endless, space - and I admit that my mind starts to go really wobbly when I ask where did it come from and, even worse, what would there be without space - what is absolute "nothing"!But the fact that space and matter do exist does not lead exclusively to the conclusion that there is a God who created humans and gave them a purpose to life. It is only one possibility, albeit a pretty strong one
I think the question of purpose was more general (i.e., purpose behind existence as a whole). If there is a God, and if He created the universe (both demonstrable by science and logic), then He created it for a purpose. Because if He could freely choose to create or not create (which God can, by definition), then by creating, His actions implied reason behind His choice (purpose). Why does something exist rather than nothing? Either something natural outside the universe (for which we have no evidence or logical support) created the universe or some Intelligent Being did. If the latter (the better of the two choices) created, It created for a reason or it wouldn't have created at all.
