Did we just evolve from amoebas or is there a reason and purpose for human existence?

It could be as simple as sharing time with a loved one, to BEing around at the right moment to save a little girl from an oncoming car or to have the PURPOSE of finding the cure for cancer to becoming a leader of peace or we could even have the PURPOSE of becoming an essential part of someone else's existence. Three things I do know about PURPOSE:
1. Your PURPOSE is chosen by you and is usually quite different from anyone else's.
2. It doesn't always have to be pleasant or positive.
3.It is something that cannot be achieved anywhere else except on this physical plane.

I think that people worry to why about "Why am I here?" and not enough about "What am I going to do now that I am here?"

It is more than obvious to me that the purpose of human existence is to eat food. Consider the following evidence: (1) humans have always eaten food; (2) humans die without food; (3) food is good.
Even back in the darkest days before Italian or Mexican cooking, people knew that food was both necessary and the meaning of life.

I'm just happy to be here, purpose or not.

What is the Purpose of Human Existence?
If I were to believe the Biblical theory of creation (which I do not), I would say that the purpose of human existence was to amuse a sadistic God who enjoys creating people, knowing in advance that many of them will burn for eternity in a lake of fire.

This fear is not a morbid fear , but it is a fear of not displeasing Jehovah because i love him,the same way that you would not want to displease your loving parent because you love them. so yes God is love and i try my best to keep his commandments.carrdero said:

I don't know. I'd rather worry about right now. I don't know the future, or the past. So, right now is what should be most important.
I think mankind's purpose in general is to become closer to God, while I think every individual has their own purpose for their life.
Living in harmony with Jehovahs purpose for mankind means getting to know the true God and conforming to his requirements as set out in the Holy Scriptures. If we do this now, we can entertain the hope of everlasting life on a paradise earth, in which we will never cease to learn new things about God and his wonderful creation. (Luke 23:43) What a thrilling prospect!Master Vigil said:
