What's the point of human existence on Earth?

I know I was born for a reason, but I'm not sure what that it is.

    Life is not a sharpened stick. It does not need to have a point.

    Hello Squashed Orange, human structure has come in the scene after several steps of evolution. The purpose is to get rid of this bondage or to realize the purpose of creation. So humanity is so precious which could bring harmony and peace for all living beings.

    You weren't born for a reason. No one was. You can invent arbitrary meaning wherever you want to, but that doesn't mean that the meaning was there all along. So you can come along and invent whatever want about the meaning of life, but it doesn't mean that your meaning is THE meaning. So believe anything, it is all the same.

    It is to know God as a beloved, a person. Something that most of us are trying to avoid.

    God's Definition: Eternal, Full of knowledge, Full of bliss, with a form. (Sat, Cit, Ananda, Vigraha)

    Every one has an incarnation of God in their heart and that is how they know they have a point for their existence. If a person doesn't use his capacity as a human, it will be like using a very well built and expensive vehicle as a bicycle. So there is no guarantee that in his next life he will have the same chance. And he may be born as an animal. But he won't go to eternal hell either!

    It is good to see you again, btw :)

    You were born to survive and reproduce. And since that had the effect of bringing about your brain, you will hopefully, enjoy a lot of the sideshows to your raison d'être.

    The "Point" of the existence of the Homosapien on Earth is to Procreate, Prapogate and Evolve our Species in Nature; nothing more.

    What 'Point' you make of your life; is strictly up to you.

    @Happy: Good one.....maybe a little 'too deep' for some of these people though. Just make sure that you have a 'big one'.

    (Uh....stick.... that is)

    There is no "point" to human existence - why do you think there is; what evidence do you have; who told you this.

    Try feeding "Life" into to Google, read, learn and follow up the references.

    In life you make up your own meaning. Who cares what anyone else thinks is the meaning of life. After all, we won't know 'til after we're dead anyway.
