If you want to know why people exist, I think there is a fairly obvious
answer: Other people made us. Have you ever heard this riddle: What
is it that elephants can do that no other animals can do? You're
supposed to puzzle over that one thinking of various feats of strength
but give up when you realize that humans can do all of those things
using machines. The answer is: Make more elephants. As far as we can
tell, as biologists, that's all every life form is here for: To make
more.
If you are looking for meaning in life, try raising some children. They
will clue you in: They are the reason you are here.
If this is so, then what's so "special" about having and raising
children?
I thought I just explained it. The purpose of life is to make more life.
