A completely random idea. Just wondering what people thought about reasons for life.

No idea, there isn't one at the moment! Sorry, had a very bad day, no more motivation to do anything etc. : (

"Life is a property of the carbon atom"

Do you mean the purpose of life, rather than the reason there is any? IMO, when people ask, "What is the meaning of life?", they are already making the unwarranted assumption that there is one. The reason that so many people think there is, and that they have found it, is that are descended from ancestors in whom that belief made them more successful reproducing organisms. Like religion and the arts, it helps stave off the boredom to which the logical response is suicide.

I think that we are just like everything else. We are just a load of cells that can think. We do things like eating so we can stay alive. We stay alive because the thought of deah scares us. The thought of death scares us because we don't know what will happen. This is just my opinion and I don't mean to offend anyone but I think that is why there is religion. We don't know things like 'what happens after we die?' and 'how did we appear?' So humans try to fill in the gaps.

Same.

It's very true though.

Reem
now what do you exactly mean ?
if you mean what does life means for me?
it means alot , it means learning new stuff , helping ppl , understanding all religions , ppl and nations , it means pleasing the god

if you mean why are we alive
well it is a very hard and long exam for all ppl
god is examining us who will follow his method and who is going to forget about god and just care about his life now
at the end ppl will go to heaven or ######
