Maybe an advanced species similar to us, created life on Earth... to find out what the meaning of life is... because they themselves didn't know...

I mean it's possible we're an experiment gone wrong or some kind of entertainment. I know these theories aren't exactly scientific or even spiritual, but think about it. We study various different life forms by studying them, the way they live. From studying lesser life forms, we can work out what makes us different and unique. Maybe we're just another races' social experiment?

That makes sense, it really does make a lot of sense

The meaning of life is struggle, struggle against our nature, a struggle to continue ourselves, everything is a struggle, that is all... oh and 42.

42. Yes THAT one. There will be more of these.

Perhaps the meaning of life is pondering what it is. I say that life is development, it's perfection. If we reach the impossible and everything is invented and already made. We have nothing to work towards to. So, might as well kick the bucket, we are done...
Hmmm I see, that makes a lot of sense
Yes, it's why I get angry when someone says that 'everything is already done before. Nothing is original anymore.' I hate this statement. It's lazy and non-productive. Of course there won't be anything new IF WE THINK IT WON'T!

Buddha gained enlightenment by meditating and gaining all the knowlegde from his past lives. So he died and went to heaven to be a god or whatnot. So if we all knew everything, we wouldn't be strifing for knowledge or life itself. All the pleasures in life would come easy, so the hard work doesn't give much effort, you know you've done it right.

If everything is already done before. There will not be someone who says otherwise. The world wouldn't need that person.
If world peace came. There won't be any fighters. Nor would there be people who fight for peace.
If all was perfect, there wouldn't be perfectionists.
If everyone was free, there wouldn't be freedom fighters.

We are not there yet. But if we were... We popped our clogs...

There is no meaning to life.

And liberated by that knowledge I'm very happy in my life goal of playing computer games until they come out of my ears.

Meaning of life?

Biologically, proliferation of the species.
Philisophically? I have a hard time seeing a point to it all, seems like a random confluence of events to me. Human sentience shows us that our existence is subjective and left up to interpretation. So with as many people as we have, we have equal different meanings of life.

But you want a simple answer, that isnt a hitchikers reference, Ok
Now, here's the meaning of life. Thank you, Brigitte. M-hmm. Well, it's nothing very special. Uh, try and be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try and live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations, and, finally, here are some completely gratuitous pictures of penises to annoy the censors and to hopefully spark some sort of controversy, which, it seems, is the only way, these days, to get the jaded, video-sated public off their fucking arses and back in the sodding cinema. Family entertainment bollocks. What they want is filth: people doing things to each other with chainsaws during tupperware parties, babysitters being stabbed with knitting needles by gay presidential candidates, vigilante groups strangling chickens, armed bands of theatre critics exterminating mutant goats-- Where's the fun in pictures? Oh, well, there we are. Here's the theme music. Goodnight.

Thats what I do for the most time.
I don't know whether to be impressed or back away slowly
I'm insane and awesomely friendly at the some time.

I'm like those evil geniuses with a serious mental disorder but gigantic brains!

Searching for meaning in life is like looking for meaning in the digits in Pi. As a scientific exercise it is pointless and as a religious exercise you are better off looking to your local religion for the sake of your sanity. It's only human to search for meaning when there isn't any but to find purpose and contentment in your own life you have learn how to live well as a human.
