Stephen Wiltshire has been called the "Human Camera." In this short excerpt from the film Beautiful Minds: A Voyage into the Brain, Wiltshire takes a helicopter journey over Rome and then draws a panoramic view of what he saw, entirely from memory.

He is autistic and because if this when he see's something he get's an image of that object in his head and can draw it exactly how it is in real life

Interesting insight - I do appreciate your thoughts and input.

I don't think so. I think that the purpose is just to be, to exist. If there is a point to our life then there must be a point to the existence of the universe and then, if there is some higher purpose to the universe than existence, what is higher than existence? The afterlife or anything like that is still a kind of existence. Perhaps there is a purpose to the entire universe, but if so it will be something far beyond our current coprehension of "purpose."

If there is no point to life and it just is as you you claim, than why not take the Jim Jones cool aid? Another words if there no point to living than wouldn't it be an easier way to end suffering if we go out return to nothingness? But the point I'm trying to make is that in all creatures on earth there is an innate instinct for self preservation. Is this something that just randomly happened, I don't know just asking questions.

Let's take this apart for a minute - As of now scientists have no evidence of life existing in the universe beyond our solar system. Wouldn't it be reasonable to start for a point of known origin to hypothesize on the origin of life as opposed to other planets in other galaxies? How is that anthropocentric?

what a genius.

I'm assuming there is only a certain way in which orbit works. So if any other way is impossible then sure, it's just chance. I think things do occur out of chaos. There are laws, but they are probabilistic, not really 100% certain. It's more comforting to think there is a purpose in life and the universe but I agree with tristbjorn that it seems anthropocentric or a product of fear.

yes they do. The problem is that because we are here, people tend to think that it somehow must be fitted to us. But the totally neglect all the planets that aren't this way. It's a bad case of anthropocentricity.
