As a theist, I believe that there's a purpose to our existence which is to acknowledge the greatness of our Creator. I think it's very unlikely that the whole universe, the earth, the millions of different animals (including ourselves), are a result of blind and purposeless forces which came about merely as an accident or some kind of a "quantum fluctuation," as some believe. Since it is not an accident, then we are not an accident either, so there's a meaning and a purpose in our lives even though people can also create their own purposes for themselves to live by. Well, at least that's what I make of my existence here.
And yes, I'm well aware of the fact that we are like a speck of dust in the enormous cosmos which includes billions of others galaxies, stars, and planets (and maybe even multiple universes). We are not THAT special, afterall, but we are still great in many ways.
Take it apart if you want to. That's my two cents for now. I have more to offer, though.
