OT: Some of mankind\'s toughest questions
What is the purpose of life?
What does it mean to be alive? (No, I'm not looking for a biological answer here!  )

To learn and grow.
Being connected to your physical body.
Because people develop habits and sometimes act without thinking.

Whoa. I detect just the tiniest hint of acrimony.

Re: OT: Some of mankind\'s toughest questions
The meaning of life is what ever makes you content with your life.
Genetically there is a strong reward system (contentment) for having offspring. There is an unbroken line of ancestors from you to the very first life. Each and very one has the fact that they reproduced as a common trait. Now you may chose to do something else with your life, but don’t expect your grandchildren to follow in your footsteps.
Free will is not knowing what your decision will be before you make it. The only one without free will would then be god.

To reproduce, then get fat, sleep a lot, and then die.

Your body takes in air, food, water, and excreats waste. You require sleep, shelter, and compaionship. If you hurt yourself, it hurts. You are self aware and can think. If were unable to do this, then chances are your not alive.

Re: OT: Some of mankind\'s toughest questions
Judeo-Christianity believes that we are here to glorify God.
(Every one else has given snippy responses, so I thought I would go with a more "charged" response.)
