116 Answers
Only we humans think we are special, and we have only existed for a few hundred thousand years.
All other organisms have an unaware finite existence.
Even the Universe has a finite existence. So what's the point ?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.We are born ,we live then die, that's it. Why people take the bit in the middle so seriously I have no idea. We are insignificant creatures on a tiny insignificant planet that will cease to exist one day. So don't take life so seriously because we really are unimportant in the great scheme of things.
There is no point but generally we strive for existence and if we can make our existence more pleasant then great. Some people would argue that we are here to reproduce our kind...like every other living thing on this planet. Some others would argue that this very selfishness of reproducing is what will spell out the destruction of humans/the planet as we know it.
You should try reading existentialism. Sartre, Camus or Simone de Beauvoir. (Among others.) They all agree - we are free, and we are responsible to ourselves for that freedom. Nobody else is. Nothing else is. We have only ourselves to blame, only ourselves to fall back on. There is nothing else. We have to deal with our own existence without any kind of meaning. Our existence - the Universe's existence - has no meaning or point or purpose or meaning save the genetic demand to reproduce. Make of your existence what you will. It's absolutely all up to you.
I remember a vicar once saying to me God created Man to worship him. Which was IMO a stupid answer , as it denigrates God, even if he/it exists, into a narcissus moron.
Why would he/it feel the need to be worshipped, especially by an organism that has only very recently come into existence. ie about 14 billion years after the so called
big-bang.

I feel that the only purpose in life is to make other folk happy.
I am now retired , however when I was working there was a nicely carved wood sign on the wall behind my desk; which a then young girl in the typing pool had brought back as a present for me after she had been on holidays. It illustrated everything that kvalidir has said :-
It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.

Oh you've reminded me of my forgotten school mornings, Modeller..... :-(
The nun would ask, every morning....
Who made you?.......
God made me.......we had to reply...
Why did God make you?.......
To know him, to love him and to serve him......
I cringe now....
What is the point of our existence?......What we make it to be........x
