So I leave you with this- What is the point of life?

I'm not entirely certain, but I'm fairly sure it has something to do with duct tape, a car battery, and KY Jelly.

And another thing, you know that guy who said "Whoever finishes with the most toys wins."?
Yeah, I don't know either. But rest assured, his bodiless soul (or rotting, lifeless corpse, depending on your beliefs) is most certainly kicking his own proverbial ass because he was DEAD wrong!

The answer to the question of life, the universe and everything is 42. Good luck finding the question.

The question is simply six times seven. Finish the series. The reasoning behind it (in my mind) is simple. The number for evil is 6 (hence 666 representing the trinity of evil) the number for good is 7. Good vs. evil or 6x7.
42

Is it really 42? I swear it was 47! Darnit. I may have had it wrong this whole time.

Incorrect.
What do you get if you multiply six by nine? is the correct question

Actually, if i remember correctly, its not possible to know both the answer and the question of life, the universe, and everything at the same time, otherwise the universe would pop out of existance and be replaced with something even more complex.

No that's the question you get if you use Arthur Dent, who's descended from tje most useless 1/3 of the civilisation that sent it's most uselss 1/3 out into space, and subsequently died out because of a disease passed through dirty telephones, having sent it's telephone-sanitisers out as part of its most useless 1/3.
Or if we're following THGTTG's logic, then that can't be the question because the moment we understand life, the universe, and everything, it all disappears and is replaced by something even more inexplicable.
The meaning of any life is to procreate, raise offspring, and hence take part in the continuation and advancement of the species. We just have to do our best to have as much fun as possible whilst doing that, and be nice to other people. There's no 'I' in 'team', people, but there are two in 'martini', so everyone back to my nation for drinks.

very clever, naming this thread point rather than meaning, thus staving of the dictionary definition of life that would have surely followed. at any rate, the point of life is probably blunt by now

Life! That is the point of life and fondling the world repeatedly. Then some more life. Propagation. MTV. Fondling. Life then a hopeful outlook. Life. Combining evolution and Christianity. Life. Fondling. Life. Death and through that Death. Life. And then more Fondling.

Sex.
Sdaeriji is almost correct. The point of life is to procreate, but sex only counts for sexually reproducing organisms, and there are far, far more asexual ones than not.
Y'hear that everyone? The meaning of life is:
REPRODUCTION!
You understand now? Re-f**king-production. Procreation. Why do people not realise this? I think there should be a ban on any future threads that do not look at this. I can not believe that people are still asking this...

Wrong because then we end up in a cycle of Utopia followed by death of Utopia followed building of new Utopia. Which actually would work out into a nice little equation. Not my cup of tea of course but then again I am a heretic.

For each person it is different, that is the very nature of the meaning of life.
For me it is to advance the power of my soul. This involves the typical things when one mentions that, but also indulgence in earthly needs. I guess one could say that's religious, I prefer to call it spiritual. Then of course the duty to pass on my knowledge and use it to make humanity 'better'.

This is exactly correct.
We are all unique and the meanings of lives to. Everyone is able to determine thier own destiny or someone else's and we do that by the choices we make.

Well, it would be true, except that all life has the meaning of reproduction. Even things that aren't really alive--viruses--have that one goal in mind. There is not greater meaning to life. It is all contrived by humans and for humans, but life most certainly does not answer to man's whims.

well if you don't believe in god there isn't much to live for, i mean why try and change the world you are just goin to die and that is the end, but if you believe in some sort of divine being then there is some reason to try

From what i have gone though and seen, Life is one big test for use all to go though other fail other win some-thing, some times it a prize that no one wants others it some thing every one wants
so its all you, you make your own reason to be there and who you are and what you do in life

For some reason religious people seem to believe this but it is not true 90% of the people who kill them selves are religious, becuase if you believe in an after life there is always a saftey net, but if dont believe you die and thats it no going back THE END, so if you have no religion the main reason to live is life. and i believe this is the only true way to enjoy life because you try to fill as much in every day as possible because anything not accomplished in this life will never be done EVER. if you believe in god, allah, budda, or the sun god Mardoch, Son of Iah, Slayer of Tiamat you always feel secure that you will go to heaven, receive 72 virgins, be reborn, or be possed b/c you took too many stimutacs respectively.

You missed the big one, which is to die. We live so we can die. If we didn't live, we couldn't die. Think about that for a minute.
If you assign numbers 1 - 26 consecutively to the letters of the alphabet and then add the letters found in D. Adams name you will get 42 i.e.:
D. A D A M S
4 + 1 + 4 + 1 + 13 + 19 = 42
Another possible explanation for the answer of 42 is that in the phrase "answer to life the universe and everything" there are exactly 42 characters including spaces. Also, the question and answer "What do you get if you multiply six by nine? Forty-two" contains 42 letters (excluding the hyphen and question mark).
We need our health to live.
But life isn't worth living without fun.
I vote for health with fun in a close second.

This sounds sort of concrete or simple or something.. but I really believe that there is no point at all to life, and I dislike it when people try to put a point onto to life.... life you NEED to get a job, you NEED to settle down and start a family. All wrong. There is nothing you NEED to do in life.. that's why it's so cool.

Good vs. evil or 6x7.
Post # 13 had it close. Correct method would be using the cross as a positive against evil with 7 + 6 = 13. I think what it is saying is ensure the good 7 outweighs the bad 6 in our Grand Old Doings.

I know, I know. I was just making fun of him, because his creators really are the two progenitors that produced the spermatozoon and ovum that formed his most primitive existence as a unicellular zygote. His mother and father are his real creators, or nature if you want to back out a little. Frankly, I don't think that if there is God, he gives much of a damn about individual humans...
