The Purpose of Human Life!

The question which has forever intrigued man and been at the core of his most ponderous investigation ... " what, who and why do I exist, and how do I fit into the greater universe????”

Or so a reading of mankind's history and philosophy would lead us to believe. I have been reading both, and about religion too, since I first learned to read.

For a good part of the last 24 years I have been researching and doing some very heavy logical thinking about the "Purpose of Life." I have written a little (i.e. about 150 pages) book in which I have tried to prove scientifically (i.e. based on the Laws of Nature, published articles, dictionaries, encyclopedias, good common sense and logical analysis) that there is a given purpose to human life that goes beyond the basic purpose of every living organism.

I think I have succeeded, but I cannot actually claim that until other scientist have verified my hypothesis. I have published my book ... The Fifth Revolution - The Understanding of Human Reality and The Beginning of Human Wisdom." on the Internet so that anyone can access it.

I am hoping a couple of scientist will do me the honor of reading my hypothesis and either validate it or trash it. It is a hypothesis which to the best of my research has never before been published. I think any of you will enjoy the book and I look forward to some interesting replies.

The single criteria on which all human decisions is ... "Is it good for All Earth's Children?"

We don't have any purpose other than that common to all animals. We do create our own complex purposes, but evolution has not led to any connection to the larger universe, since we are physically isolated from it.

Each human therefore should have their own purpose, for that's what makes them unique as well as their life.

 

We are isolated from the Universe, really?
So all those pictures from fancy galaxies far out are fakes?
And there are also no meteors threatening the Earth, no Sun to shine its light on it, and eventually, no Big Bang ...

 

Not in an absolute sense, but in our daily lives, we cannot travel around to other planets. Our evolution has pretty much nothing to do with the universe at large, and it is evolution that shaped what we are.

 

From a viewpoint elsewhere in the universe, planet earth and its inhabitants are very much part of the larger universe.

sall relative...

Mabe our purpose is to make sense of this Cosmos. The Universe trying to understand itself.

Hi All,

My book address all of your replies including the FACT that there is only one reality and it is governed by "The Laws Of Nature."

I also attempt to prove logically that all of Mankind's problems are caused by the avoidance and rejection of the one reality.

If you really are interested is the subject then I suggest you read the "Fifth Revolution."

I really am not interested in starting a debate about "The Purpose of Life." If that is what you want to do then start a new thread.

My hope is to have my book reviewed and the hyphosis verified of disproven. I will appreciate and reply only to post from people who have read the book.

If this is not the forum for such a request then I apologize.

As a species: To survive. To create. To bring order to chaos.

As individuals: To love. To learn. To succeed.

Survival isn't a purpose to life. It might be a personal goal, but there is no purpose. Purpose is a religious idea.

 

Sometimes there is no purpose to life, like with many animals, they just are "there" .

 

I would ask Enmos this question.

From the introduction: "The misery, suffering and evil (i.e. the cancers) which are now accepted as normal by Human societies do not need to exist . We can eliminate..."
We are the cancer. So now what?


Dick Roose, would you be so kind as to provide a link to your paper?
The one I found appears to be under construction and only contains an introduction.

 

Give everyone cancer? Fight cancer with cancer?

What is it about humans that is a cancer, exactly? Do other lifeforms ever fall into that category?

Many bacteria do nothing but endlessly replicate (or viruses too) and do not have a symbiotic relationship with most organisms. Can they be a cancer too?

Or are they the solution?

 

Speaking generally, perhaps that question is answerable. About specific things? Probably not. Many decisions have consequences positive, and negative. One group benefits, another may not.

Too general a question.

 

That was a comment directed at the author. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

What question exactly, initially, did you want to ask me?

 

It was just my morbid fascination with your morbid take on humanity in general.

Not that I disagree with you completely, but I don't agree with you completely either.

 

Sounds reasonable.

What do you disagree with specifically? And why do you call it morbid?
