Here it is, the Big Question that everybody has been arguing about since forever.

What is the meaning of life?

Here are a couple theories to get you thinking:
-to reproduce
-to evolve
-to eat or be eaten
-to live life to the fullest
-to pursue your dreams
-to make others happy
-to make yourself happy
-to love
-family and friends

My opinions:
If I were looking for an answer in a more scientific point of view, I would say the meaning of life would be to evolve, because the reason animals reproduce is to evolve anyways through the process of natural selection. Of course, there's also the more spiritual side of this argument, in which case I would probably say that the meaning of life would be to live life to the fullest (which I guess includes spreading happiness, loving your friends and family, and pursuing your dreams already...). It really just depends on what kind of person you are. I wouldn't say that the meaning of life is to just solely pursue your dream, because in many cases people don't reach their goals and dreams. Besides, there are also other living creatures to consider. Many animals aren't capable of feeling emotion, so happiness and love wouldn't really matter to them. But to an animal, living life to the fullest may be just to eat, sleep, reproduce, survive, etc (so as you can see, "living life to the fullest" can have many meanings).

You don't have to choose just from the above list. Those were just a few ideas to get your started. You are entitled to your own opinion. Just remember that when stating your opinion, please specify why you think that way. This is in the debates section for a reason.

Discuss.

I'm surprised nobody has responded with the answer "42." xD
In all seriousness, from a biological sense, the purpose of life is to survive and create more offspring. If a species does not have the ability to survive and reproduce, the life of that species will end very soon. So I guess my answer is similar to yours, in a way. We all started from a very simple organism. If that organism had not found a way to grow, change, and create more offspring, we would not be here, and would have no purpose.
In an astronomical sense, no matter how many changes you make to the world, humans will become extinct eventually. I don't mean to be a downer, but it's true. We are so tiny, and have made absolutely zero impact to the Universe as a whole. We are one of a million species of one planet of 9 others in one solar system of 100 billion stars, and that's just one galaxy of 100 billion others. Sure, we can make our lives here even better, and improve upon our world, but some day, Earth will be gone, and the Universe won't even care.
