What is the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything?

Hint: Maybe this should go under books and authors. ^_~

Update:

Wow, guys.

I was only making a reference to a book, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. In the book, the answer is 42.

I wasn't expecting all the spiritual answers that were given.

Technically, by the question I was asking, 42 should be the best answer.

But I have to say the other answers are just as valid. And, they've given me a bit to think about.

Man, I'm going to have hell picking the best answer here....

    If the answer is 42, then the question is (acc. to that same book) 6 x 9.

    And God is probably the answer to your question. (Gen. 1:1 - 2:4, the Bible)

    Clearly is is God. But it is up to us to open ourselves to his life and benevolance in our lives. Otherwise we will miss the precious moments as they occur.

    Everything god created is perfect and a reflection unto him, so therefore everything is beautiful. We discard that which we do not understand or appreciate and the fault is our own, not god nor anyone else's. it's time for some personal accountability people.

    We have allowed people to screw up everything good god created for us. But we can still get it all back. It's never too late until it's too late.

    The awnser to life and existence is an unconscious benevolent motivation which all comes down to temperature, as long as the stars are burning, heat will continue to expand the unverse.

    Jesus Christ.

    Eph 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

    Eph 1:8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;

    Eph 1:9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:

    Eph 1:10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:

    Eph 1:11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
