What is the meaning of life?
Have you ever looked up into the sky and wondered, "What is the purpose of life?, Why are we all here? What is it all about?"
As Above, So Below

Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

True, valid, and complete science will always confirm the Creator. False and incomplete science, or "science falsely so called" will not. Even as there are still people today who believe that the earth is flat and is the center of the universe, in spite of all of the scientific evidence to the contrary, there will always exist people who cling to the theory that humans evolved from the primordial ocean. Note: Did you know that Darwin never even addresses creation (i.e. how, when, or where the first living organism came into being) in his book, "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life". Darwin's theory focuses on how already existing living simple organisms may be able to evolve into more complex organisms over time. In fact, Charles Darwin was only a 22 year old amateur naturalist when, during a 5 year world voyage (1831-1836) aboard the HMS Beagle, he traveled to the Galapagos Islands, from September 16 to October 20, 1835, where he spent just over 1 month and made his observations of nature, the beaks of finch birds in particular, from which he would later develop the theories he wrote about in his book, "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life".
1 Corinthians 1:21
For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
One of the accepted mainstream scientific theories at the time, which is believed to have influenced Darwin's work, was the Theory of Spontaneous Generation. The Theory of Spontaneous Generation was "coherently synthesized" by the philosopher and scientist Aristotle in the 300's B.C. It is the hypothetical process by which living organisms developed from non-living matter and was utilized to explain the origin of life. The Theory of Spontaneous Generation was the prevailing scientific belief addressing the origin of life and lasted from about 300 B.C. til the 1800's, over 2000 years, until it was disproved in the late 1800's by the experiments of Louis Pasteur and others. It is good to keep in mind the relatively primitive nature of "science" from the 300's B.C. til the 1800's. The "science" of Darwin's time was not even aware of the fundamental structure of a single cell, something which is considered common knowledge in today's science. Truly, Darwin's conclusions of his observations of nature for about 1 month in 1835 could more accurately be described as "Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection of the Galapagos Island Finch Bird Beaks". Instead, his conclusions seem to have become "Darwin's Theory of the Origin and Common Ancestry through Evolution of ALL Life by Chance Random Mutations and Natural Selection". Darwinian Evolutionary theory is based on two principles: 1) Undirected Random Mutation (i.e. chance) and 2 ) Natural Selection.
"A statistical impossibility is a probability that is so low as to not be worthy of mentioning. Sometimes it is quoted as 10^ -50 although the cutoff is inherently arbitrary. Although not truly impossible the probability is low enough so as to not bear mention in a rational, reasonable argument." The probability of a functional 150 amino acid protein chain forming by chance is 10^ -164. It has been calculated that the probability of DNA forming by chance is 10^ -119,000.

Has NOT Been Explained
[Just a thought: Even though Darwin's Theory of Evolution is widely accepted as "fact", just as the Theory of Spontaneous Generation had been, by mainstream scientists of the time, would it be prudent to base one's eternal existence upon the conclusions of a 22 year old amateur naturalist (who openly expressed serious doubts about his own theory) whose ideas are founded from his observations of nature for only about 1 month in 1835 and on the 300 B.C. Theory of Spontaneous Generation that has since been proven to be false by modern science? ... You decide.]
Daniel 1:4
Children in whom was no blemish, but well favored, and skillful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability in them to stand in the king's palace, and whom they might teach the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans.
1Timothy 6:20
O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:
Regarding the timeline of creation stated in Genesis 1 of the Bible, many people think that creation occurred within a 7 "earth-day" period. However, if one reads the actual text of the Bible carefully, it is very clear that the “days” mentioned in Genesis 1 are not referring to the assumed 24-hour earth- days with which we are all accustomed. Because, what is a “day” on earth? Isn’t a "earth-day” the single revolution of the earth around its axis? (By the way, science has shown that the rotation of the earth has not been constant over earth's history. Additionally, every celestial body has a different length for its "day".) According to the Bible, the Earth was not "formed" until the 3rd day of creation. Prior to the 3rd day of creation, the earth was "without form and void". So, how could an "unformed" earth have rotated about its non-existent axis during the first two days of creation to provide a measure of time? Clearly, God was using a different measure of time for a “day” during the “seven days of creation”. In other words, God was not using an “earth-day” as a unit measure of time during creation. To think that God would use an "earth-based time clock" to measure the creation of the universe is akin to the out-dated geocentric belief that the universe revolves around the earth. Even though God is everywhere at all times, God did not have to be "on" earth [Obviously, since the earth had not even been formed until the third "day" of creation.] and therefore not limited by an earthly time frame, when He created the heavens and the earth. (By the way, when was the clock invented? When was the unit measure of time for a second, a minute, an hour, a 24-hour day established? These are all relatively new innovations. So, how could they have measured time at the moment of creation.) God is beyond heaven, earth ... and time.
GENESIS 1
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
It is curious how Max Plank's (the Father of Quantum Physics) conclusions were so revolutionary in the field of science / physics (i.e. the immaterial (non-material) reality of nature and "the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind" as the ultimate force behind the fabric of reality). Yet, when microbiologists. biologists, geneticists, biochemists, other scientists, etc. come to the same conclusion (i.e. Intelligence/consciousness/mind is an integral and fundamental force behind the initial introduction and subsequent propagation of biological systems), they are rebuffed as being "unscientific".
There are over 7.1 Billion people on earth. Of those 7.1 Billion people, it is estimated that almost 90% of them believe in a god.
There are over 2.1 Billion people on earth who profess to be Christian. (As a frame of reference, keep in mind that there are approx. 300 million people who live in the U.S. So if you take every man, woman, and child living in the U.S. and multiply that number by 7, then that is the approximate number of professed Christians on earth.)

According to God, our whole purpose for existence is to ... fear Him and keep his commandments.
Ecclesiastes 12:13
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
What does it mean to “Fear God”?
God's word teaches us that the “Fear of the Lord” is to “hate evil”.
Proverbs 8:13
The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
In essence, our whole purpose for existence is to hate evil, and keep God's word.
We may know the 10 commandments given to us by God through Moses. But, what are all of God’s commandments?
Matthew 22:36-38
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
If we say that we love God but are not keeping his words, then we are lying to God and to ourselves. To love God is not an emotion or saying: it is an act.
Isaiah 29:13
Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honor me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:
Matthew 15:8
This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoreth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
1John 2:15
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
Luke 16:13
No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
1John 4:20
If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
Mark 7:9
And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.
1John 3:18
My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
Isaiah 29:13
Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honor me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:
Matthew 15:8
This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoreth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
1John 2:15

What does it mean to “love God”. Just because we may say, “I love you, Lord”, does not mean that we really love him. Going to church every week does not mean that we love God. To truly love God means that we keep his commandments and his words.
John 14:15
If ye love me, keep my commandments.
John 14:23
Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
1John 5:3
For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
2John 1:6
And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.
John 15:10
If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
1John 2:5
But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
1John 4:19
We love him, because he first loved us.
John 14:15
If ye love me, keep my commandments.

A person can do good works by hating evil, but if they aren't keeping God's word then they aren't fulfilling their duty to God.
Deuteronomy 5:29
O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!
So, what happens after we hate evil and keep God's word? Are we all suppose to just be born, grow up, get a job, get married, have a family, retire, then die? Is that all there is to life?...

1CORINTHIANS 13
1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

JOHN 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
If a person does nothing else their entire life, he/she should read the entire Bible (most accurate word for word translation available) from beginning to end, with an open and prayerful spirit: and, ask God (Yahuah) for knowledge, understanding, and wisdom in His word as well as His Spirit to live His Word.
