Hmm... it's late and I am basking in boredom, so I am curious... what are everyone's views on where we came from and the meaning of life?

I don't think there is a meaning of life, per se. You have to give it one.
A desperate disease requires a dangerous remedy.

A major source of objection to a free economy is precisely that it gives people what they want instead of what a particular group thinks they ought to want. Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Eric Idle of Monty Python - The Meaning of Life

Why are we here?
What's life all about?
Is God really real,
Or is there some doubt?
Well, tonight, we're going to sort it all out,
For, tonight, it's The Meaning of Life.

What's the point of all this hoax?
Is it the chicken and the egg time?
Are we just yolks?
Or, perhaps, we're just one of God's little jokes.
Well, ca c'est The Meaning of Life.

Is life just a game where we make up the rules
While we're searching for something to say,
Or are we just simply spiralling coils
Of self-replicating DNA.

What is life?
What is our fate?
Is there a Heaven and Hell?
Do we reincarnate?
Is mankind evolving,
Or is it too late?
Well, tonight, here's The Meaning of Life.

For millions, this life is a sad vale of tears,
Sitting 'round with really nothing to say
While the scientists say
We're just simply spiralling coils
Of self-replicating DNA.

So, just why,
Why are we here,
And just what,
What, what, what do we fear?
Well, ce soir, for a change,
It will all be made clear,
For this is The Meaning of Life.
C'est le sens de la vie.
This is The Meaning of Life.</font>

I still find it an interesting concept, to wonder whether or not God knows where God came from.

I mean, imagine if he DIDN'T know...

We all came from an infinitely dense singularity, and the meaning of life is n. pl. lives (lvz) The property or quality that distinguishes living organisms from dead organisms and inanimate matter, manifested in functions such as metabolism, growth, reproduction, and response to stimuli or adaptation to the environment originating from within the organism.

I'm sure you all don't want to hear the biological process of how I came here from the very start.

As for the meaning of life...can I Ctrl+Z my own?
