Meaning

Ray Kurzweil defines order with information and purpose. Evolution increases order due to fit. Storing information is not enough, that information has meaning.

In the case of evolution as far as we know the fit is to the Earth biosphere. It is not a universal fit. We cannot walk on the moon without special gear, we are fit for the Earth's atmosphere only.

The meaning of life sometimes is used to bring God to fore.

If string theorists are right and there are 10²⁰⁰ possible universes, I guess a theist will say that God rules over all of them, if that is so, then we are infinitesimal creations of this agent.

Does that give us less meaning?

I prefer to concentrate on this Earth, and judging by Katrina, Felix, and Henriette, we have not proven our fitness. Katrina's displaced people are proof of that. When will the masses of homeless people become US again?

Even these questions may have answers that point to a very small amount of meaning for human life. Nevertheless this human life is all we have.
