There are no answer to this question but only opinions. I was once told God created life because they got pretty bored up there so they decided to create human form to play with. They used us as a battle chess piece and let us fight amongst ourselves but not everyone die from it. So they added in natural disasters and unexplained phenomenon like diseases and cancers. But those diseases and destruction that was intended for us didn't kill everyone off. So they sent down old age death and it worked. But soon we will come to a stage where we can conquer and cheat that too. So what is God intended to do with us next? People also told me that in the age of the Dinosaurs, God created them first as a chess piece because don't we all love to play with animals? But the dinosaurs was no longer fun so they wipe out the entire race and create human. Human was a more challenging game because of the advance knowledge we were created with.

I know what you are thinking? What a load of bulls? And i agreed. Let me give you the answer to the question and it is an answer i do believe will cause outrage to you people who believe in God. The meaning of life to me is very simple, we only make it complicated because we have no knowledge of it. Let me just warn you, it is an opinion you're about to hear and it is an opinion to me to answer myself if there is a God out there? First of all, i do believe there is no God out there. But if i'm wrong, then i'm sure God is forgiving like what the bible is set out to tell us. But let's just assume there is a God out there and why did He created life? To me God created life because it is an punishment for us all. We are all prisoners of God. And why is that? Let me just refer to the way how people are punished on Earth. A criminal is found guilty of stealing something and he is sentence to jail. He will serve his time in there and maybe it will teach him a lesson or two. When he gets out, he is a changed man because he have a fear of going back there again so the crime he committed will stop. Well it works the same way with God but ours system is nothing compare to God's one because not everyone will learn their lesson once we are out. He sent us down here to serve ours time for the crime we committed up there. His prison system is the most effective because look at the sufferings we have to go through during life. We all suffered one way or another and we learn from the mistakes. There is a lesson in all suffering and that's what God's prison sentence is trying to do to us. Once we have served our time, i'm sure we are wise enough to know our mistakes.
