Since everyone in here are very smart and full of ideas, lets look into the questions of the universe:

1. What is the meaning of the life?
2. Can we choose the life were living?
3. How/why does fate/karma/whatever control our live?
4. Is there such thing as "free lunch"?
5. How big is the universe?
6. Is there a live after dead?
7. Something else.

you forgott THE single most important one; What came first? The chicken or the egg.

TheChosen · 12-03-2006, 10:10 AM

Youre right. Thanks.

I can answer that one: Chicken came first. A fish evolved into a chicken.

That one's easy, it has to be the egg; at some point in the evolution of the chicken there has to have been (good luck finding it, though) some creature which wasn't a chicken, but which laid an egg which hatched into a chicken. Hence, the egg came first.

I can answer no 5 to some extent - the universe is infinitely big (and expanding). And probably saddle-shaped.

1. What is the meaning of the life?

The meaning of life is to die, simple as that.

2. Can we choose the life were living?

In some ways we can, in other ways we can't.

3. How/why does fate/karma/whatever control our live?

I don't fully belive in fate, but then again I do as well, we can control our lives to a point but things happen that are meant to.

4. Is there such thing as "free lunch"?

mmmm.... free lunch

5. How big is the universe?

Bigger than your house thats for sure :P

6. Is there a live after dead?

There is life after death, there is a huge amount of proof, just most people don't look at it.

1. What is the meaning of the life?
To accomplish the goals you set yourself. If you set goals, and can't live up to them, you fail. Bigtime.

2. Can we choose the life were living?
Up to a certain point. We can choose how we look at life, and we can pretty much choose what we study (not everyone can, though), and when we're old enough we can pretty much choose where we live.
But it's pretty much. Take me for an example; next year I'll be forced to leave the country to get the education I want. I don't have a choise. Of course I can choose between studying and not studying, but if I choose not to study, I can't choose between as many carriers later on.
...I don't think I make sense...

3. How/why does fate/karma/whatever control our live?
It doesn't.

4. Is there such thing as "free lunch"?
Yes, someone can offer you lunch. Then it's free for you.

5. How big is the universe?
Big

6. Is there a live after dead?
6. Nope, we rot

7. Something else.
...They're all after us....

The more you search for it the more meaningless it's seems, so don't search for it...

Quote:

2. Can we choose the life were living?

Yes. For Example I chose to join abandonia, it wasn't destiny, also of course there are many coincidences in life that happen, but that's just the law of big numbers... (IMO of course)

Quote:

3. How/why does fate/karma/whatever control our live?

I believe everyone get's what they deserve in the end, if not by obvious ways then through inner suffering...

Quote:

4. Is there such thing as "free lunch"?

No, nothing is free.

Quote:

5. How big is the universe?

It's ever expanding.

Quote:

6. Is there a live after dead?

Yes. You die. Worms eat you, then those worm, become part of humus, then from that humus grass grows, then a cow eats the grass, and then the cow ends up in your bigmac.

I thought hummus was made from chick peas and garlic...

Tulac · 12-03-2006, 10:22 AM

No it's organic waste AFAIK, but hell you can say oil, or whatever, either way you become a part of the earth and then consumed into something that also dies(or rots if it's material) and become a part of the earth...
