Why are we Born in this Earth? Why are we created in this earth? Why are we different from other animals/creatures? Why are we marrying and have children?


I think there is an answer for all these questions. If you have brain with 6 senses and time to think, answer these questions..

Because we can. I think that's probably the simplest answer to all of those questions. While "why?" has always been an important question for humanity, it's not one that is easy to answer. Much of what we do is for the simple reason that we want to. While I am personally agnostic, many religions offer reasons for why we're here (well not always, often it's more of a how). I think that free will is the main reason, we're here because we want to be, and we do what we do because we want to. Not always on an individual level, but as a society. We are different from animals because we choose to be different from them.

I'm not sure if I understand your question, but I believe that people are born to enrich the lives of others. Others are other people and animals. I am agnostic like the guy above me. I always try to do good things for everyone and not be mean. I also try to stop other people being nasty to others.

Why were we born?

From what I can see, to wreck everything. Destory the place we have come from. There is no divine meaning, only destruction. According to the typical human.

Hmmn... tough question. Lessee... my parents had sex on their wedding day and one of my dad's sperm met up with my mom's ripe ovum. The sperm fertilized the ovum, which led to it changing into a blastocyst, a foetus and, eventually, an infant nourished by its mom via an umbilical cord. On the summer solstice, a series of uteral contractions expelled the infant out into the world. That is why I was born.

Really, people, cause and effect. Why answer a why-type of question with "Because we are meant to <insert verb here>" If someone asks for the cause of an event, do you give the effects of that event?

I think the question you were looking for is, "What is your/our purpose in life?"

I've recently watched Avenue Q and in its finale, a song called "For Now", it basically communicates that it doesn't really matter if you know your purpose in life or not. After all, nothing is permanent. A dream of the past may change in the future. I mean, look, can you really plot out your course in life? What if something unexpected happens? Is it so essential to your well-being to seek the future instead of living for the next few moments?

No, really, I was born because my parents had sex and my mom was very careful with her pregnancy. That's all there is to my birth happy.gif

The best answer .. Perfectly answered salamangkero.. I would agree too that the reason that we are born is merely because it has happened.

What happens after we are born is questionable.. Then factors like destiny,duty and faith come in,

Why are we different from other animals/creatures?


Different species were created to prevent all of the food resources from being eaten therefore avoiding animals from becoming either cannibals or starving to death ending up destroying the earth's population.

QUOTE
Why are we marrying and have children?


Again, there is a very simple answer to this, It is to make sure that there is an ongoing chain descendants. We would not want species to be sterile now wouldn't we xd.gif

I don't think I can write more because every one else has already nourished this topic enough smile.gif

The only problem, however, comes when we try to figure out who were the first two humans or at least our origin. For if the process of birth deals with two humans of the opposite gender having sexual intercourse, then if we were to follow the genealogy, we would be left with two. But to explain how they got here goes beyond the question, "Why were we born?" However, the topic starter has asked a question that goes beyond that question by asking, "Why were we created?"

QUOTE(Andrew107)
[1]Why are we Born in this Earth? [2]Why are we created in this earth? [3]Why are we different from other animals/creatures? [4]Why are we marrying and have children?

1 and 4 are because of a direct mutual consent between two beings that are opposite in gender except when the sperm came from a sperm bank, then it becomes indirect.

2 causes us to go back to our origins and further. 3 causes us to consider if we are really different, and if so, why?

The thing about 2 is that i have my own beliefs, and may be better left for another topic.

And the thing about 3 is that we are fully capable of acting like the animals, that is, "uncivilized." And we are also capable of acting not like the animals, that is, "civilized." This is what makes us different—this is the why.

QUOTE(Velma)

That answer may suffice if the topic-starter asked, "Why were different species created?" rather than "Why are we different...?" If humans were the only ones in existence from other animals, then we'd all be herbivores. There would be no need to eat each other if there are (other) food sources that are fully capable of providing us with the needed nutrients for survival.
