We are born for the same reason all the other species are born. Our parents fornicated. We're not different from the other animals. We have more in common with chimpanzees than chimpanzees have with spider monkeys, or whales have with dolphins.
We're just a little bit smarter.

Even parrots speak. A critical advantage, but not unique to our species. Create a list of those qualities that make humans unique. It'll be a very short list, and most of the items will be negative. Murdering our own, for example. Also, we eat everything, wrecking havoc on our ecology.

Only humans are dumb enough to imagine omnipotent aliens from outer space and worship them, putting their alleged interests above our own.

lol I had a good and nice laugh when I read this but nontheless. Haven't you think at least once in your life that we might have been production from some aliens. Someone might have had seeded the life on this planet and haven't you ever thought about it. I had and it is reasonable assumption as reasonable as Darwinists and creationists ideas how we became.

It is maybe a bit more stranger but there are certain circumstantial evidence that some bacterias have arrived with the meteorites on the earth from deep space. So maybe not someone planted us but we were planted by mere accident and some bacterial fomr then starteed to develop and developed in us. Cant you appreciate the irony in this one.

Well, erm, this is arkward... When a mommy and daddy love each other very much... oh you r talking about it mythically, ok

Well there is no "why" there is no reason for us to be hear except to contiue the species, thats all we are here for and all we will ever be here for. The same with any other animal, all we are is developed animals.

I belive that we are born for a specific purpose. when that is completed we will get back to transeant life.

Why are we here? The answer is of course simple.... As are all the answers to the most complicated and philosophically deep questions. Why should there be a why? There is no reason for our existance. Think about it, don't expect to be able to comprehend this entirely as it is impossible with our infinitley limited brains. But try and imagine infinity. A big vaccum of space that stretches on forever. It will never ever ever end. You could shoot off 265 times the speed of light in a direction and keep going the same way for trillions of years and never reach an end. Because there isn't one. Now think about matter. There is almost definatley more than one "universe" I personally believe that there are an infinite number of universes. (Not too sure on the plural of that word though) In this infinite number of universes there is a finite amount of galaxies and therefore a finite amount of planets yes. But infinity times )( is still infinite. There is an infinite number of planets. Therefore the chances of something happening like this are almost 100%. Think about it. A quadrillion number of monkeys at a quadrillion computers for a quadrillion years. Trillions of them are going to produce a coherent word, billions maybe a sentence, millions maybe a short paragraph. Maybe 10 or 20 are going to make a full novel, with twists character development and other such things that happen completely by chance. Maybe the monkey may make a few typing errors but the world that we live in isn't perfect either, that just feeds into my analogy. The monkey did not have a reason for typing that novel. He just did it by accident *of course when I use this analogy of monkeys at computers I am taking into fact that none of them die or take a break or the computers cease function. It's just to personify the idea of randomness coming together to find something coherent. In this infinite cosmos say there are a few sub atomic particles that just happen to attract another one. The particle was never created. Why should it have been created? Because everything that a human can imagine has to have a maker. Surely that's just logic, you might say. Nay nay, as I stated before we have a very finite brain capacity. Infact an infinitley finite brain capacity as it were. We will never understand things like eternity or life after death. *Until of course we die* But say these sub atomic particles in this infinite mass of emptiness. These particles come together via gravity and become helium. They all mass together over a very, very long time and we get a much larger thing. This process has no time limit for it to be created. It has all eternity to make something. And it finally does, a small rock that inhabits some tiny microorganisms. This is also simultaeneously happening trillions of times over elsewhere in the infinite cosmos. Eventually the tiny microorganisms decide they like where they are and evolve and adapt. As the climate and enviroment changes into the certain areas where they are on this rock they become different from each other. They begin to have to eat each other to survive. Large rocks are just wandering around through space and ono the off chance just happen to collide with the earth. These creatures that have adapted to this enviroment are fleeting. They leave way for a new dominant species. We develop from doing miscellaneous tasks and become a small tribe of animals. We then breed and think more about things. Just out of sheer luck having the adding help of an apposable thumb we take over. You were then born from two of these animals. They are no different from any of the other microorganisms on the other trillions of planets that have life on them but your just lucky you got the good planet. Theres no reason your here. Your just another microoganism that got lucky.

tl;dr theres no point in life

If you really believe "theres no point in life" then you should suicede because if you really believe there's nothing on the otherside, it wouldnt matter how great your life is or how happy you are... in the end, when you die, a 1000 years life-span will be the same as a 1 year life if you really believe theres no point in life. But I guess you are just messing with us ;)

We are here because, more than ten billion years ago, the universe borrowed energy from the vacuum to create vast amounts of matter and antimatter in nearly equal numbers. Most of it annihilated and filled the universe with photons. Less than one part per billion survived to form protons and neutrons, and then the hydrogen and helium that makes up most everything there is. Some of this hydrogen and helium collapsed to make the first generation of massive stars, which produced the first batch of heavy elements in their central nuclear fires. These stars exploded and enriched the interstellar clouds that would form the next generation of stars. Finally, about five billion years ago, one particular cloud in one partcular galaxy collapsed to form our Sun and its planetary system. Life arose on the third planet, based on the hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and other elements found in the protostellar cloud. The development of life transformed Earth's atmosphere and allowed small furry mammals to take center stage. Primative men and women evolved and moved out of Africa to conquer the world with their new knowledge of tools, language, and agriculture. After raising food on the land, your ancestors, your parents, and then you consumed this food and breathed the air. Your own body is a collection of the atoms that were created billions of years earlier in the interior of stars, the fraction of a fraction of a percent of normal matter that escaped annihilation in the first microsecond of the universe. Your life and everything in the world around you is intimately tied to countless aspects of modern astrophysics.

That should sum it up for you
btw I'm saving that for science class
