That's a purpose, not a meaning.

Fair enough, My point was that everyone interprets it in different ways and IMO the most enjoyable parts of my life have been when I've discovered things about myself, who I am, where I want to go, etc.

Yeah, this is the basis for Camus' idea of the absurd. The conflict between our mind's want for meaning and the world around us' inability to gives us any.

Camus wrote:Time will prolong time, and life will serve life. In this field that is both limited and bulging with possibilities, everything to himself, except his lucidity, seems unforeseeable to him. What rule, then, could emanate from that unreasonable order? The only truth that might seem instructive to him is not formal: it comes to life and unfolds in men. The absurd mind cannot so much expect ethical rules at the end of its reasoning as, rather, illustrations and the breath of human lives.

a great film by monty python

This would be closer to my type of thinking. I don't really like the question 'what is the meaning of life?' it implies we need a meaning to life or one with meaning is better than one without.

I find it hard to believe there's some profound underlying meaning to why my heart keeps pumping and my brain keeps ticking over.. equally I find it a waste of time to try and find something profound to fill my life with.

Its not to say you can't try or aim to fill your life with success, joy, love, happiness, experience the world ect ect.. but to say that is the underlying meaning of the reason you're here is just a little extreme in my view.

There is no meaning of life, life just is.

This would suggest a chaos theory approach, with things being unstructured?

I think everything that is/human consciences/reality is structured/pre-planned. Maybe we are just a pre-calculated methematical generator/hologram/reality. I just cant see luck/fate/free will being a non human perception, very much like time itself.

I also don't believe in the Big Bang Theory (not the tv show ) and also Darwin's Evolution. I am not religious.

As to the meaning of life I don't have a clue.

Not sure, but just not any of them theories I mentioned. That's the thing though they are just that theory's.

This is the thing that pisses me off about some scientist, they get paid to guess and only a small portion of them have any sort of proof to back it up. And when they sometime go on about how something existed 2.458 millions years ago i just cringe.

In regards to Evolution:

I believe our brains evolve in terms of calculations/how we think as we grow. In terms of the physical aspect i see it more like a mutation, going from birth to adulthood.

I'm sorry even though we similarities with monkeys and other animals I will never believe we are descended from them. I respect people who believe in that theory that but i never will.

No one has said we're descended from monkeys
