Default Re: Purpose of life

[ QUOTE ]
Basically since the beginning of time life's main goal human/nonhuman has been to survive and procreate.

I disagree with this. You ascribe a motive to evolution, but evolution doesn't have a goal any more than gravity does.

Why does an organism survive and procreate? Because the organisms that don't survive and procreate don't pass their genes on. That does not mean that there is any purpose to evolution.
