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

Interesting then, that the very emotions that you say are merely electrical impulses, can produce such thoughts.
A flower is merely a plant, a bunch of chemicals and tissue, but it can produce such great emotions. Yes, emotions are triggered by impulses in the brain, but only a fool would ignore their significance. It's like saying that television programs are a mere series of 3 coloured dots, and therefore are all the same. So Eastenders means nothing but a pattern on a screen, nor does the visions of the moon landing.
It's easier to break things down into simple concepts to explain them, THAT is human nature. Understanding what is beyond this is the real gift.

Nobody knows, people have been studying it for years and years, I believe we are all here to do something with our lives and to do the best we can. We will all have different opinions on this but I guess there is no right answer.
Life is a piece of graph paper.
Each experience you have fills in one square on the paper.
The aim in life is to fill in as many sqaure as possible.

No-one in my family follows religion, but my dad did once come up with an interesting angle...
*IF* there is indeed a heaven, where everything is so peaceful and perfect, then - with all the suffering and 'evil' in this world, how do we know that we aren't already in hell?

No goddamit!
I am full of righteous purpose and fury ,and you must all accept my way as the only true way through life.
*phew* Sorry, got confused there for a moment and thought it mattered.
I'm sticking with my monkey theory, sounds appealing

Whether life has a meaning or not, I don't really care.
I'm only here for the pursuit of personal happiness.
If you think you have to solve all of the worlds problems, go ahead, just leave me here to be happy.

The meaning of life?
There isn't one, a bunch of chemical reactions and electrical impulses.
"Intelligence" has provided us with the arrogance that we matter as a species, when we don't.
No different to rocks or trees, we just exist.
I don't see apes sitting about wondering what it's all for, they swing about, eat stuff and mate.
Now THAT is the life my friends, I personally believe we're evolving into apes, not the other way round.
Think about it, we worry about jobs, money, homes, prospects etc.
Apes wake up, scratch themselves, eat something. Maybe they get hold of Mrs Ape ,maybe they just sit in a tree all day.
Now I ask you, who has a better grip on life?

The Big Bang is a load of bullcrap.

Only then will I believe in the Big Bang.
