Biologists said what philosophers were too chicken shit too. The meaning of life is to reproduce.
But what is the meaning of reproduction?
Life.
That's why we call it the circle of life.
Life and reproduction are co-evolved emergent phenomena that sprang from a chemical accident where a molecule inadvertently found a way to replicate itself.
... but actually it might be more complicated than that. There might have been a set of molecules and chemical interactions that weren't quite self-replicating but ultimately led to that self-replicating molecule. However, once that exists, you end up with a runaway chemical reaction that can last for literally billions of years.
TL;DR primordial soup is an ignition starter motor.
No it's not, the processes of life as such are meaningless 🤷🏼
