What is the purpose of a human being on the earth.
Answers
In my personal opinion, the purpose is depending on whether we are only focusing on this physical world or we also broaden our horizon to include what will happen after we have died in this physical world. We know that we human beings need to go through the human life cycle including: birth, growth, sickness & death. Some people believe there is no other chapter of life after we were dead - just like the lighted candle being put off & nothing can be done. Some believe there is reincarnation. Some believe there is another world either heaven or hell is awaiting us etc. If there is a new chapter of life after our physical death, then how we plan / don't plan for the new chapter might influence the purpose of our lives in this physical world. As the saying goes - if we fail to plan, we plan to fail.

Theists further hold that if there were no God to give life ultimate meaning, value and purpose, then life would be absurd ...
