What is the meaning of life?

[Rune]

Here is a simplistic view of life.
We are the way we are because of intellect.

If lifes so simple then why do we have an intellect that puts us head and shoulders above any other species?

[Saz]

Because....Thats the way (evolution) the way being has progressed Deal with it

Who say's we're head and shoulders above any species?

We've ruined this world in a blink of an eye.  Who is head above the shoulders now?

If the earths age was a clock, the last to minutes would be humans coming to bear.

Look in 2 minutes we've screwed this world over and every other lifeform living on this earth.  I don't think we are intellient.  We're ignorant.

If life were simple, we'd all be amoebas...well we were, but we'd still be them

Because....Thats the way (evolution) the way being has progressed Deal with it

why would evolution progress us to stage where people think beyond there own survival? makes no sense.

to think humans can destroy the world is fairly arrogant - yes we could wipe ourselves out but the earth will out survive us.

yeah the doomsayers will tell you we are destroying the earth but its not that bad and we're getting better all the time.

and yes we are head and shoulders above the rest.

That is not Evolutions' fault, it is our own doing.

Hey you never know, there are soo many species we haven't discovered. Maybe we don't want to discover this species, MAYBE they are 100 heads and shoulders above us. The fact is we simply don't know...

[Trueogre]

There is a species head and shoulders above us and they are called Virus's.

[Saz]

yeeeess! see that totally crushes your theory
 Viruses...... they will be the end of (NOT THE WORLD) US in the being of the world

[Trueogre]

Yes but virus's have the same inbuilt circle of life that humans and every other thing that lives and breathes.

To be born, to live, to pro-create, die.  I don't know if virus's age.  

So like I said it's a simple breakdown.

[Saz]

Yes very clever Virus' age... depends what you mean by age... while we grow... they multiply i think. Woohoo "what will kill us will teach us the meaning of our existance.." ahhhh no.. i'm sure i have seen that in a fortune cookie

[Rune]

Show me the virus that wrote Romeo and Juliet or painted the sistine chapel.  The point is a virus functions to do one thing, it functions perfectly yes, but that’s all it does.  

That’s why humans stand above the rest – our ability to think outside box, our need to push our boundaries beyond what is required to survive.  The theory of evolution fails completely to explain this.

Just take our J.R Tolkien, was this mans work created by a mind that only desires to survive and procreate. Or is there more at work behind this creative genius. I think so.  

[Saz]

We aren't saying WE are Virus'....well i am not   If Evolution is correct...We have Evolved To... wel us. And what i am saying is, what is to say that virus'  "evolve" they could become mightier. Infact they can destroy US without much effort... Hey Dmx... LEAVE Tolkien OUT of this

[Rune]

yeah but there is no evolutionary reason for being the creative people we are.

there's plenty of other animals at the top of there particluar food chain that have reportedly been around for eons that have not evolved any further. why us?

it makes no sense - yes we may have evolved but there certainly appears to be more at work.

AND Tolkien is perfect example to use

[Saz]

why us.... i think that SHOULD have been the question. A question that many scientists have tried to answer over time. Why US?, why are we the humans?  call it fate, call it whatever... IT JUST HAPPENED

(btw if you want to shut me up, feel free too kick me )

though you know i won't listen [/color]

[Trueogre]

Here is why viruses are viruses, just as humans are humans.

"I just picked it up on the tip of my glove. If I put it down again and it asks another ant 'what was that?' how would it explain?"  

"There are things in the Universe billions of years older than either of our races. They are vast, timeless, and if they are aware of us at all, it is as little more than ants and we have as much chance of communicating with them as an ant has with us. We know. We've tried and we've learned that we can either stay out from underfoot or be stepped on. They are a mystery and I am both terrified and reassured to know that there are still wonders in the Universe, that we have not explained everything. Whatever they are, Miss Sakai, they walk near Sigma 957 and they must walk there alone."  

[Saz]

TO that really does sumarises what I have been trying to say...At one point there i thought it was talking about souls or spirits... hey maybe it is, maybe i am stupid  :-[ Where did you get that from TO ? Wrote that yourself? Whoever did liked ants all i can do is agree with you there and just point
