What is the meaning of life for you? Do you have one? If so, has it changed over time? What was it?
Not sure whether I've started this thread on the right board, but let's see where this thing leads.......

Nope. It's chocolate pudding.
Seriously, I think the answer for Christians is pretty clear. I'd be interested in hearing from the non-Christians on this one.
Blessings,

The answer to the meaning of life, the universe, and everything is.... 42. It is an inside joke that you would only get if you have read or watched "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." |

I watched it many years ago, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I thought that 1 was the meaning of life, the universe and everything, as it represents unity and the belief in one God as its creator. And the Holy Trinity can be thought of as being 1 x 1 x 1 = 1.  |

Just had a thought: what if the mathematics for the meaning of life is as follows:
1 God (1 x 1 x 1) + 42 or 24hr day (2 + 4) = 7 days of creation (1 week)
or
1 x 7 = 7
They do say 7 is God's number.
Funny things numbers.......

Well, I don't know what the problem I had with logging on here earlier was caused by, but I'm sure relieved that I'm still a member of these boards. I kept trying to log on, yet I wasn't being recognized. Very strange. I'm definitely going to see "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" movie when it comes to England. It looks far better than the now rather dated BBC serialization of the books. Of course, you Americans are rather good at plundering all our best stuff!  That won't stop me going to see your movie version of one of our best-sellers though. ;D Andy. |

Of course, you Americans are rather good at plundering all our best stuff! Don't you mean improving on your material? The books are indeed fantastic. The BBC movies on the other hand were downright gastly. It probably has something to do with the fact that they had a pitifully small budget. That is one thing that hollywood does well. Through enough cash at a movie and chances are it will come out decent (if it starts with a good storyline). |

I recall a few years ago the BBC making a Dr. Who movie with some decent special effects it, and you lot weren't interested! Mind you, the actual storyline wasn't anything special. Are you a Dr. Who fan?

Not really, I don't know anything about it except that I recognize the name "Dr. Who" Philip, Dr.Who is a Timelord from the planet Gallifrey who travels through space and time, and related dimensions, in a "Tardis", which is disguised as an old, English, police telephone box. Tardis stands for "Time And Relative Dimensions In Space". Makes sense when you consider that it's larger on the inside than on the outside. On the inside it becomes apparent that it's a vessel for multi-dimensional travelling. The Doctor's arch enemies are the Master (a rogue Timelord), and the Daleks who come from the planet Skaro. The BBC are going to be broadcasting a new series, this time with a decent budget and special effects and some new, exciting, storylines. It's 16 years since Dr. Who was last screened, apart from the TV movie in 1996. I used to be a huge fan of the series as a child. But Dr.Who has never really made an impact in your country. Perhaps this new series will get you lot interested. And I've also enjoyed watching Star Trek TOS, TNG, DS9, Voyager and the movies. I've never watched the Enterprise series as I'd decided to stop watching TV. There's too much rubbish on it for me to bother paying the TV licence and it is a rather pkmtyolpive activity. Now I tend to spend time with friends instead. Andy. |
