Yeah okay, fair enough. Kind of a weird set up. But have fun with it ;P.
As for answers being correct or incorrect, we're in a set of circumstances where life on earth is possible and where some events have made it possible for mammals tho thrive for a period of time (we're still living in that time). Most mammals eat and reproduce and are just part of a biological food-chain. So are we. But we adapted and evolved in a way where self consciousness plays a role. We're probably the only animal that worries about a purpose in life. We think we're so important (especially religious people). Now in your definition our purpose it to live until we die. But that's not a purpose. That's what happens anyway. No matter how long or how short your life is. It's cause and effect. It serves no higher goal. We could just as well never have been born. None of us. And it wouldn't have mattered.
All living creatures could be wiped from the planet and the planet would still be turning with all of its landscapes intact and no universe would give a fuck or be affected by it.
So while i'm not saying i know the definitive answer, i can say that until now, this is what life and education has made me believe. And i've been thinking it since i was thirteen and no event in life made me think otherwise. On the contrary. All things point to all living creatures on earth being as insignificant as all other living creatures in the universe or all that have ever lived. But to be honest, i rather think it's exactly fine this way. So maybe i'm biased because i'm happy with there not being a purpose.
Anyway, i think we basically agree. But it's always hard to see people struggling with the notion of not having a purpose while in my case it's liberating. Just enjoy people. You're allowed to (unless you're living in a fucked up country of course where being happy is made impossible by powerhungry egomaniacs).
