Meaning of Life

Meaning of Life - Randall Niles explores the Ultimate Question.

What is the Meaning of Life? This has been the ultimate question since the beginning of mankind. It seems inherent in our nature to ask questions such as "Where did we come from? How did I get here? What's my purpose on earth? Where do I go when I die? What's the meaning of all this?"

Meaning of Life? The Answer Without God
Through the teaching of evolutionary science, materialism and moral relativism in our popular media and public school system, we've removed God from the potential answers to these ultimate questions of life. Without God, we lose any transcendent purpose for the universe in which we live. Without God, we lose any transcendent purpose to give meaning to our individual lives. We are nothing more than bugs struggling with survival until we die. All the achievements, the sacrifices, the good and beautiful efforts of people, the ugly and dark acts of people, are ultimately futile things of life. Without God, we also lose any possibility for life after death. When you remove the hope of heaven, you remove the ultimate value and purpose of life. What difference would it really make whether we lived like a Billy Graham or an Osama Bin Laden? Everyone's fate would be the same anyway. This is the hopeless outlook of those who base their belief system on materialism, naturalism and the presupposition that life on earth is all there is.

Meaning of Life? The Answer With God
The answer to this question cannot come from human intelligence or reason, but only from the Creator himself who transcends our material world. As we see in today's naturalistic society, once we remove God from the equation, we start to lose all sense of purpose for mankind. But, if God exists, we really do have a transcendent purpose, and really do have meaning for our lives. Not only do we find day-to-day significance in our lives, but an ultimate significance through our hope in eternal life. If God exists, we remove the moral relativism that pervades today's society, and we replace it with a standard of absolute right and wrong residing in the character of God Himself. This gives our day-to-day choices significance too. God gave us the ability to choose whether we live by His moral laws or by whatever values we assign to ourselves through our own reason. As we find, we are not mere robots placed on this earth by God. Rather, we have absolute free will to follow what He says or not. We can either recognize God as the Creator of the universe, or we can deny that He exists. We can choose to live a meaningless life or a life with absolute and eternal purpose.

@saulhudson420 I mean what I said not what you made up in your head that I mean. You are right you can make things mean what every you want, just like you made my comment suit your frame of reality. But here is the real kicker what you or anyone else makes up in your head as being meaning is only what they made up as being the meaning and not the meaning itself since there is none

I agree. Unfortunately I am an atheist.

What a bunch of crap. If you want an actual answer, I have a video titled "Human Exceptionalism" that derives purpose in human life from a materialistic perspective.

Obviously you won't get it if you "think" with faith rather than reason.

The meaning of life is to live long engouth to watch your children die.

Words and symbols that have meanings. Life is not a word or a symbol. Life IS the ultimate reference, the ultimate connotative meaning of all language and expression. Life is an EXPERIENCE, not a meaning.

@RedTailedTuna Life is empty and meaningless? Huh... I think what you mean is : YOUR life is meaningless. Life is what you make of it. If you chose to make nothing of your life, that's not anyone else's fault but ur own.

[techstyle123]

life is what you make of it...its what ever you want it to be

@Severe777 There can't be a meaning to anything just like that, it can only be put related to human beings for example yourself. Which basically means, life has a meaning for you whatever you make of it, aswell as to other people whatever they will think about your existence. I also find it sad how we as HUMANS with the ability to intellectual thinking, put ourselves into nothing less but an animalistic way of life, aka what our insticts tell us, aka (mostly) just wanting to raise a family.
