Two conflicting answers for you here:

Every species needs a predator to keep its population down and to remove the weaker ones from the gene pool; man is that predator to 99% of the worlds species bc we are smarter, meaner, greedier etc than just about any other animal species.

The other answer is bc Yaweh (god) wanted someone besides the angels to worship him & to give him praise - The Bible :)

Answer 5

humans exist for the same reason as any other species of animals i believe

the reason is to reproduce and keep the human race from extinction

just because we have bigger brains, that doesnt mean we have any better reason for existing than any other animals, now do we?

Answer 6

The Manual says: "Purpose not included". You have to learn to roll your own, hence the popularity of Philosophy.

Humans are alive because we are the most aggressive and persistent species on Earth.

Each individual human is alive because their ancestors perpetuated themselves effectively i.e. passed on their DNA to the next generation. The definition of "successful" is where "the number of viable grandchildren is greater than the replacement level." (All the humans who don't perpetuate themselves effectively, die out).

We exist to create.

We exist to tell stories.

We exist to love.

Pick one that works for you (or roll your own).

Answer 9

Because it just so happened to happen.  I don't think there's anything really big behind our existence other than the fact that it just came to be.

Answer 10

why not?

Answer 11

"Because it just so happened to happen. I don't think there's anything really big behind our existence other than the fact that it just came to be."

thats the answer, there's no reason, i forgot the name srry, but it's true. If humans existed for a reason, whoever was behind the reason must have been a real b*****d because we're ruining the earth.

do you really think we're that specail? just because  we're intelligent, unique, "kind", whatever else, doesn't mean there's a reason.

if every human killed themselves right now, it would be a blessing. the earth would cry tears of joy if it could.

humans killing themselves would be like as beautiful and as much of a blessing/miracle as a baby being born and laughing or an angel going to heaven following beautiful music.

Answer 12

Because universe exists.  Universe created humans, so humans exist.  Humans die out at the time universe is gone

Answer 13

humans exist why all other species exist.We have a purpose.Our purpose is to live.

Answer 14

Life is a journey that God is traveling.

The first phase of God's journey is evolution. It is initiated from a totally unconscious God as if an infinite Ocean of Knowledge, Power and Bliss were in a state likened to deep sleep. This unconscious God speaks the First Word "Who am I?". This question disrupts the limitless, undivided, absolute vacuum, and its reverberations create individualized souls, compared to drops or bubbles within the Ocean. By speaking the First Word, God establishes the process of Creation, in which he assumes evolving forms to gain increasing consciousness.

Individuality is the vehicle of this quest. Evolution marks a series of temporary answers to "Who am I?" The soul traverses a multitude of forms, beginning with simples gases and proceeding slowly through inanimate stone and mineral forms. These early evolutionary stages obviously have only the most rudimentary consciousness and cannot provide a satisfactory answer to God's original question.

The original query thus provides a continuing momentum for the drop soul to develop new forms each with greater consciousness, including the many plant and animal beings. Every evolutionary kingdom reveals new dimensions of consciousness and experience. Each also offers opportunities to gain different kinds of awareness. For example, when the soul identifies itself with varied species of fish, it experiences the world as a creature living in water conversely, as a bird, it enriches its consciousness by flying through air.



When the drop soul finally evolves to human form, consciousness is fully developed, but an individual is still not aware of the potential of his or her consciousness.

So the original "Who am I?" imperative persists and inaugurates the second phase: reincarnation. Since consciousness is fully developed, there is no longer a need for evolving new forms. The individual's experience, gathered in early stages of evolution, is now humanized and expressed in countless lifetimes. The impulses gained in sub-human forms can play themselves out in the broader context of intelligence, emotions, choices, diverse setting and interactions with people.

But obviously no single lifetime can bear the burden of "humanizing" the entire evolutionary inheritance randomly or simultaneously. There must be a method for re-experiencing the pre-human legacy in manageable segments. The soul thus experiences alternately a series of opposites, organized according to themes. Accordingly, in different lives, the soul becomes male and female, rich and poor, vigorous and weak, beautiful and ugly. Through exploring the potential of these many opposites, one eventually exhausts all possible human identities and, therefore, has fully learned the entire range of human experience.

Here begins the third phase: involution, the process by which the soul returns to the full awareness of the Divine Force, which created him. As Meher Baba puts it, "When the consciousness of the soul is ripe for disentanglement from the gross world (the everyday world of matter and forms), it enters the spiritual path and turns inward."

Like evolution, involution has certain states and stages, consisting of "planes" and "realms." But individuality continues along this spiritual path, and there are as many ways to God as there are souls.

Each new plane denotes a state of being that differs from the states that proceeded it. The first three planes are within the subtle world or domain of energy, "pran." There follows the fourth plane, the threshold of the mental world, where misuse of great power for personal desire can lead to disintegration of consciousness.

The fifth and sixth planes represent true sainthood, which is understood to be increasing intimacy with God as the Beloved. On the sixth plane, the mind itself becomes the inner eye that sees God everywhere and in everything. "The loving of God and the longing for His union," says Meher Baba "is fully demonstrated in the sixth plane of consciousness."

The seventh plane marks true and lasting freedom. Impressions go. Duality goes. The drops burst and again become the Ocean. God answers his question of "Who am I?" with "I am God." The Infinite has returned to the original starting point. He now knows, however, with full consciousness and full awareness that he was, is and always will be infinite with infinite Knowledge, Power and Bliss. And he realizes that the entire journey has been an illusory dream, the purpose of which is the full aw
