Does anyone know the meaning of life?
I'm sat here at ten to one, pretty bored. My brain needs stimulation. Anyone?

Human Life:
Born.
School, learn stuff,exams, puberty, stress
Job, mundane, bills, mortgages, money worries, love worries, fear of death, religious persecution, insecurities, diets, big cars, nice houses, low wages, suicide, marriage, divorce, death
Ape life:
Born.
Maybe get eaten by something bigger.
Learn to eat something smaller
Lay about, scratch, mate, lay about, fight for dominance in troup, lay about, mate, eat, mate.
Humans..we're the most intelligent things on this pebble apparently.
Don't see it myself

That's where religion comes in.
The big bang was just another implosion in a universe that had seen a lot of other events. But before that there is nothing to explain events, bar 2 things:
1. God (or gods, depending on your belief) created elements or actually 'forced' the big bang to happen, thus creating the galaxy we know and love.)
2. Time is looped, meaning that the end of the galaxy merely causes it's own creation. This is a better description for all those that refuse to believe in a deity, but ultimately, everything has to start somewhere.

I agree with the monkey theory. Trouble is, we tend to see the happy monkey, swinging in his tree.. eating his lunch - and naturally presume he is stupid. Why? Because he doesn't have a fast car, high paid job or whatever else it is that we are supposed to want. We see these animals happily living they're lives and not worrying about bills or their jobs... and what do we do? We shoot them. That's logic for you. Animals are far from stupid.. they make a better go of life than most humans... but they don't get rewarded for their admirable simplicity, they suffer due to the ills of a more 'advanced' (oh really? :o) race.

It doesnt... Even if every nuclear missle was lancunched, and exploded, it wouldnt destroy all life on the planet...
The majority of life on the planet has been pretty much (90%+) wiped out 4-5 times (that we know of) ... The dinsaurs extinction isnt comparitivly too bad... They've just have better PR
Life would stiil be around, as would evolution...
Just not humans :)
There may have even been intelligent life before our own... remember that fossels discovered had to die in fairly specific circumstances...
And stone buildings only last 10 thousand years or so...
