Why are we here?

I won't pollute the answers with my opinion, I'd just like to hear what others believe.

I'm kinda just wondering since this site seems to have a large spectrum of beliefs.

Side note: yes, I know babies come from vaginas.

And what are you doing over there? Hey you! Get away from that...

Because. Duh. 😛

Because amino acids combined into complex proteins.

I believe we are here to make a difference. Every little effort helps.

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

I went pretty deep down the alien origins path for a while. I had nearly turned the ancient aliens and ancient civilizations series into a religion.

This kind of went against all my reasoning, but the presentation was pretty convincing.

I ran across a YouTube video Ancient Aliens debunked. I was pissed by the time the video was done. I just couldn’t figure out if I was pissed at the deceptions or my own level of gullibility.

I believe in the probability that it is unlikely that earth is the only single occurrence of life of some kind. But understanding the intellectual and technological level a species would have to achieve to acquire inter stellar, or galactic travel leaves The probability low that another species has ever been here.

Science has managed to show enough laboratory evidence to show that life as we know it not only could have self assimilated, but had nothing to stop it from happening.

The proteins were there, they only needed the right conditions. Life seems to be the single most unique thing in our visible universe, but far from impossible.

@Foggy are you in Daredevil?

@Foggy but I agree... Just had to ask lol

@Joenobody not sure what dare devil is, so I’ll say no. ?

@Foggy it's a comic book character... His best friend is fondly called foggy

@Joenobody I have to admit that the idea that I’m actually a character in a comic book would answer a lot of questions ???

We are here to do our own small part in helping the human race to answer the question you just asked.

Level 4

We’re here because the laws of physics demanded it.

I’d like to think that in a few billion years humanity might observe our dyeing sun from a safe distance.

The same physics that brought planet earth, and the life phenomenon it harbors, will eventually take it out of existence.

Curiosity.

I would like to know the answer.

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
