The meaning (or purpose) of "life" is unknowable. The universe exists. Life exists. WHY? The physical or factual reason (s) may be able to be answered by science. But whether or not there is a "purpose" or not can only be guessed at by philosophers. Humans are insecure and want/need reassurance and answers. Prophets and priests, witch doctors and shamans, all have answers for those who want/need to believe in something. Are any of them telling the actual truth? With our world so small in a universe so inconceivably large, it is highly unlikely anyone really has the correct answer, if there is one.
