We are here I believe, because Aliens planted us here. I believe Aliens were our beginning rather than the biblical god stories.

Whatever reason it takes I guess.

To me this is asking why does grass grow.

We are here because by a random galactic incident, a star was blown out and took with it debris that cooled and became planets, including this one. Over eons, life forms moved from microbial to swimmers to crawlers to walkers, to upright and here we are.
Beyond that, I guess we are here because we are. What we do with that is up to us.

OK, it's late and you're gonna get weird shit at 2 in the morning! Smile!!

To take out the garbage.

No condoms

We are here because we were born. The sad thing is that so many think it must be much more complicated so they start making things up. This way they will present themselves as the person with all the answers when you talk to them.

because of a perfect storm with everything coming together the right way at the right time

If there is anything to the quantum theory that until something is observed and measured then it does not actually exist, life is an innate and necessary part of reality,

we exist therefore it is, it is therefore we exist

esse ergo sum
Ego igitur esse

There are no answers.

I'm here because I was tired of being trolled by the alt-right on the last two Facebook groups I joined. I since ditched them.

I get trolled a lot here, also, but luckily, there's a "block" button.

It seems that many here object to anything I say about the supernatural or gender issues, LOL!

We are here to be the universe observing itself

Why are we here as in this website or the universe? The answer is the same either way… Because it was there.

Because organic molecules became self replicating and increasingly more complex.

Because we are not there.

So I will take this question as a Zen Koan and just hold up a flower ?

No reason, no reason at all.

Why? You ask this questions as if there is an insightful answer looming around the corner. Why is earth here? Why are there stars in the sky?

I can respect the question "how." But "why" assumes a cosmic will and intent that I have seen no clear evidence for, so it is purely speculative. Here are some other "why" questions we could waste our time asking:
Why do some live a day and others a hundred years? Why is there horrendous suffering? Why do terribly cruel and selfish people sometimes seem to be rewarded?

I would like to know the answer.

I read the question: "Why are you on this site if you believe in magic?"

To answer your actual question: Life has no inherent purpose. "Purpose" is a human being thing - exclusively. The universe is not a human being, existence is not a human being. They do just fine with no purpose, and they will do just fine without us.

Biology

The meaning of life is to find meaning.
