50580
The characteristic state or condition of a living organism.\nis the defenition.\n\nI would say it's a series of events, with different emotions and experiances, try to have kids, survive, and die. everyone dies, think of all the living things that have died on this planet sents life began on it. try and hade a good happy life, or a sad evil life. choose your own religion, or not. \n\nMany things can happen to your body after death, rot, mummify, be petrified. I believe that if there is a soul that it is only energy and it is released into the surrounding elements. You make your own hell or heaven here and now. You might be brought back to life through future genetic research, but you would be totally different because of your surroundings.

The meaning of life is us and the living things that surround us. The meaning of the Universe is us and the livings things inside of it. The meaning of everything is all of it.

To understand life you could study organic chemistry \n\n Organic chemistry tells us that the first organic material is composed of "SPONCH" sulfer, phosforus , oxygen , nitrogen, carbon and hydrogen.\n\nIf this is how life is created, then the question becomes, how is it possible that all these atoms got together in such a complex way to create the first life.\n\nAtheist tend to say well it just happened randomly over time, but if you consider the improbobility of this happening it is infinitly small. \n\nAnd if we know that space has a time of origin then for life to form it would be comparable to having a quater land heads billions of times within about one week from one persons toss.

Life is an inevitable consequence of existence under certain conditions.\n\n\nBut then again, if you read something other than the Babble you would know that.

Not God. When life is broken down to its most basic funiction it is nothing more chemical reactions. Something that simple multiplied enough times can lead to complex forms of life. Just look at a computer. Its basic function is a 0 or a 1, On or off, yet look what it can do.

No offense to the other people who answered, but you've gotten some unintelligent and outright dumb answers.  \n\nFirst, you have to define 'life'.  Merriam-Webster (see www.m-w.com) includes 20 definitions!  Here are the pertinent ones, with more comments below.  \n\n"1 a : the quality that distinguishes a vital and functional being from a dead body b : a principle or force that is considered to underlie the distinctive quality of animate beings -- compare VITALISM 1 c : an organismic state characterized by capacity for metabolism, growth, reaction to stimuli, and reproduction"\n\n"5 a : the period from birth to death "\n\n"8 : a vital or living being; specifically : PERSON <many lives were lost in the disaster>"\n\nDefinitions 1a and 8 define life one way, while 1c and 5 define life in different ways.  It is all in how one interprets them...\n\nMany biologists, including myself, define the beginning of life as the point in time when an organism is viable.  That means that an organism is able to survive in the external environment without nurturing from the parents.  A conservative estimate for the point of time when a fetus might be viable is at the end of the second trimester.  To err on the side of caution, we can even push this back a month; let us say at 5 months instead of 6.  We can push it back a month to account for future increases in technology.  Carl Sagan strongly agrees with this point of view and describes it much more eloquently than I could possibly explain it his book "Billions and Billions".  \n\nDefinition 5a spells out that life begins at birth and ends at death.  This is straightforward but I doubt few would 100% agree with it. \n\nDefinition 1c is at the seat of the controversy over when life begins.  If someone defines life as “the capacity for metabolism, growth, reaction to stimuli, and reproduction”, no one can make the philosophical or logical argument that life doesn’t begin at fertilization or conception.  At that point, one can only lay out their argument for when they feel life begins.  According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), about 50 percent of all fertilized human embryos are spontaneously aborted.  Figuratively, when an embryo is spontaneously aborted, it has reached the ‘end of its life’ (see other definitions of ‘life’), but it doesn’t mean the embryo was alive.  \n\nIn closing, the definition one ascribes to ‘life’ depends on their moral, social, and religious views.  Despite obvious differences in how people will define life, it is paramount to understand someone’s definition, and I hope this little answer helps just a little.

Life begins when we realise the purpose behind our existence. Life is not just taking birth, thats just the existence. \n\nExistence + Wisdom = Life\n\nA scientist may answer to this question in a very different manner and a philosopher may answer something else.

There is no "meaning of life".  The concept of meaning is a language tool which has no given purpose.  However, knowing that words have meaning allows people to dream up meaning for themselves and pursue it as their own identity, and convince themselves through daily affirmations that the universe had given it to them.

Here's something I found on the internet that might answer your question:\n\nScience and Spirituality: An Islamic View of Creation & Life\n\nAccording to Islamic tradition, life is God's creation - regardless of whether life was specially created or resulted from evolution. Evolution itself is a process of creation as admitted by Darwin in The Origin of Species. \n\n \n\nCreation falls into four categories - inanimate matter, plants, animals and human beings. According to Islam, all four are separate creations. Among living things, a number of species co-exist, all having been created separately. There is doubtless some similarity in physical attributes; yet, each has a permanent, separate existence. There is no concept of a missing link in Islam.

"Life" is simply a state.  It is the synchronous operations of billions of cells in your body, and if you will atoms, arranged in such a way to function together as one.  Thus, death would be the ceasing of that function.\n\nIf you mean "sentience", that is consciousness, this functionality comes from within the brain.
