Lets hear your views on the most fundamental questions... Why are we here,? do you believe in the anthropic principle?, what is the meaning of life?, What is consciousness?, is the Universe infinite?, does it have a cycle? Or maybe you believe in a religion which answers everything for you, if so which one and why?

Not that you have to answer all of these, or any of these.

those are some tough questions, Titania! It will probably take me awhile but I'll probably be posting some things.

Great thread - too bad no one is posting on it.

When I tripped on acid I got a glimpse into what seemed to be a stage of human production. It looked like strips of fluorescent white metal twisted together and along the strands there were branches, on the end of each branch was a spinning sphere with an unimaginable number of colors. A surge of ...something would flow through the branch and hit each sphere and stop them randomly. It was the making of a persons characteristics I think. So what I'm getting at is, I think that the meaning of life is random and everybody has a different meaning to it.... if that makes any sense

Wow you painted a really amazing image of that experience, I liked the spinning spheres.

Personally, I am a pantheist, which means that everything in the Universe is, in a sense, God. Although in my personal take, it is not a conscious God, with any sort of human form; nothing like the image of the Christian God with beard and all. Neither does this 'God' create the Universe in any sort of contrived way, but simply follows it's own laws which have existed for eternity. These laws go through a beautifully orchestrated evolution, ie. the Big Bang, then as negative entropy accumulates, and the conditions are right, life appears. Humans, (or any conscious life) are the fruition of the Universe, complex enough to ponder their origins, and the entire human race can be seen as a collective consciousness that experiences itself subjectively. In other words, it is God understanding himself through human, or again, any intelligent conscious life. Therefore, we are in essence the consciousness of God. Then at some point in the future the Universe will start to fall back on itself, galaxies will appear blue as there light is shifted towards the blue end of the spectrum. The Universe will be riddled with black holes that will tear everything in it's path apart, a beautiful spectacle if you're still around. Our Sun will become a bloated red giant, until all of its outer layers are flung off revealing a perfectly spherical diamond. Then everything will be compressed into one small space, and the Big Bang will start all over again. It fills me with wonder to know that the same atoms in my body have been, and will again be, billions of light years away in space. That's my take on life the Universe and somethings, yours may differ, that's the point of this thread.
