If we are to assume that the universe came from essentially nothing and a random chance, then there is no meaning to life. But it's truly remarkable that life exists and that reality allows life to persist and flourish. There will be a day where all the life on earth is dead, and hopefully by then we will have harnessed the hidden powers of nature to travel to distant galaxies to populate other planets.

Why did we go from earth straight to "distant galaxies" for fuck's sake?
There is a 2,5 million light year fucking void between us and Andromeda.
Meanwhile there is 100,000,000,000 stars in our own.

One of the cool things I learned from stargate: universe. The distance between galaxies are HUGEEEEE

Life isnt shit you moron. Its the anthropic principle. Reguardless of what the odds of intelligent life existing are, we can only ask the question in a universe where those odds allowed us to exist. "Oooh life must be special, look at how complicated the universe that allows us to live is" is a fucking retarded statement. There could be (and probably are) trillions of times more universes that never give rise to life, but they dont fucking matter because nobody is around to utter the equally retarded question "wheres all the life in the universe?".

>then there is no meaning
Compared to what? Would a god give life meaning? Doesn't seem obvious to me.
Life is meaningless regardless.

>travel to distant galaxies to populate other planets
Why? We haven't even colonized worlds in our own solar system, mere months away by chemical rockets. Why would we need to traverse millions of light years?

If the Universe had some of its variables slightly altered, and intelligent life came to be on a different planet, under different circumstances, would it not think the same:
"Wow, look how precisely fine-tuned the Universe must have been for us to be alive here right now!"?

Is there even any reason to believe the laws of the Universe to be arbitrary?
>>8926946
Not unless you're religious, e.g. Catholics would believe the Universe was made precisely so that the Earth would come to be and we'd evolve on it I guess
Otherwise no reason to though. We don't even begin to know the laws of the Universe, let alone understand why they are what they are.
