The Meaning of Life

Because I deleted the companion blog, I'll occasionally speak in first person ('I' am Virgil), where it is appropriate. This is one of those occasions. Every time I hear about scientists (or anyone, in fact) trying to decipher what 'this' means, or what 'that' does, or how 'those things' work, I become very aggravated, for what does it matter? God did not place humans on Earth to have them break apart his work. In fact, the more humans do against nature, against the intentions of God, the more we ruin the Earth, the more we create unnatural diseases and sufferings, all for this sort of false paradise on this mortal planet, in this mortal existence; because apparently there is only one life, and we should live it to the 'fullest'. But the moment Adam and Eve disobeyed God - the moment that this sin was introduced to Earth - the planet fell into decline, and people's perception about what life is, what it constitutes, became severely blurred. Below is my explanation of the meaning of life, I hope, the way God intended for it to be.

What is the meaning of life?
That's a wonderful question. As a Christian, I believe one simple solution can answer this question, a solution that makes perfect sense, requires no research, nor philosophical nor scientific prerequisite knowledge.
Scientists look for an answer to all things. They search indefinitely, and upon discovering something new, they also happen upon more new unanswered questions. In theory, then, there should be one something that binds everything together. It is that one missing piece of the puzzle, that allows each of life's many facets to work - but what is it? Will scientists ever know? Of course they won't: they reject God.
God is that missing piece. Certainly scientists can travel to an extent in their research to understand how the creation of God works, but this can only extend so far. Consider the Big Bang Theory: perhaps it occur - I'm not saying it didn't. But the theory is founded on the idea that mass existed somehow, to then become superdense, implode, and become the Universe. One question that these scientists have forever failed to answer, is how that principle matter originated, where it came from. According to science, there is an existing amount of matter in all of creation, which cannot be varied. In all, matter cannot create additional matter, nor can matter vanish into nothing. So then, the question presented in new light: where did this principle matter, that formed our universe, come from? Until science accepts God, they will never answer this. It's simply impossible. Before anything existed, there was God. And God brought this matter to exist. In the same way, then, science can only extend so far in explaining God's creation, because the basis of everything, quite simply, is the Lord.
Back to the meaning of life. If God is life's basis, then humans are based on God. Their primary objective in life is not to understand the Lord - God is God - who are we humans to say that we can understand the motives of such an awesome deity? Nay - our objective in life is to come to know the Lord. To have faith enough in what is unseen, in what cannot be deciphered by our unworthy, spoiled human minds, to believe in the Lord.
And then, accordingly, to follow his word, and obey. For if we accept the Lord, and believe that he is our All, our Everything, then certainly we should also believe that what he has instructed to be written - the Bible - essentially his Word - to be the truth. That the existence of Heaven and Hell are very, invariably real, and, as such, admittance to Heaven open only to those who fulfill their mortal duties to God; and Hell, and with it eternal suffering, open to all else.
The meaning of life cannot be described by any scientific measure. Life, I believe, to be a test of faith, a determination of who goes to Heaven, and who to Hell. When Judgment Day comes, where will you be standing?
