Jill, perhaps Yilgun was trying to say: What is our mission (i.e. purpose) to be here on earth.
Why are we here on earth?

Why are we here on earth? |

Yilgun might have questions about existentialism, which is a philosophical movement which says that individuals create the meaning and essence of their lives.
Maybe he is asking what is the purpose of life? Which leads to the next question: What is the soul and what is its origin?

Well, according to Douglas Adams, the answer to Life, The Universe and Everything is 42

Owwww..LIR, Adams is my ultimate idol, I can't believe there are people other than me who actually quote him  And, here's Adams again, regarding Yilgun's big Q:
"There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarrely inexeplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened."
P.S. Can somebody explain to Yilgun that quoting numbers, facts, names, lists, rankings etc should go with a link to the source? Unless of course, it is Yilgun's own theory about the age of the world. But, if it were, he wouldn't have to ask us about our age - he'd already known that

sorry couldnt resist it 
It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.

I can't believe it - I just googled it. Quote DB is a quotation database. The quote's author is Aristotle . See, yilgun, that's why we provide LINKS
to link the source, copy the url - address; in the posting window, there is an 'Add Link' button; Hit the button, paste the copied address, then press 'OK;' if you want your link to appear as hypertext, type whatever you want in the next window, if not, copy the address again. Done. Easy, huh?

Oh thanks DD!! I thought he might have made a typo and the quote was actually from YOU!! But no it was from that well-known Greek existentialist philosopher Data Base (pronounced Datta Bassay) all the time!! Thanks again!
