It is 100% guaranteed that the sun will eventually burn out. However it burns out, the Earth will be dead. Everything we've known to be reality will cease to exist. The tiny corner of the universe we explored to unravel the mysteries of life will abandon all consciousness.

What do you see as our purpose before that happens? What are we working towards? If there is a goal and a purpose; is it to serve a higher being? A higher form of life? What service could we possibly provide the universe?

If the world unified under your God, what would your next goal be?

If we are here by random chance, will we migrate to a new planet? And just continue as long as we can? Could we possibly live long enough as a species without purpose to survive on other planets?

I'm not really looking for a solid answer. Sometimes I just wonder...

i think it was sumner that hypothesised that humans are constantly socially evolving. in this direction, we would achieve "perfection" as a species. i have my doubts that we will ever reach a state of perfection, but its a nice idea. when im optimistic, i believe that we are getting better. but sometimes i see a news story and flip flop around to getting worse or staying the same. tbh, i dont know. im in it for myself. the rest of you guys can have your own problems :P

I like to think that in the grand scheme of things, we're like ants. We're meant to work and provide for our scoiety, but every so often there's this bastard kid with the magnifying glass.

To answer your question, I don't know.
