Everyone now knows the meaning of Life. A cult following of "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" made it possible for at least 30% of the literate world to grasp its meaning. Now with the release of the movie, morons like me got to bask in its understanding as well. Increasing the numbers to probably 45% of the world's population.
Now I'm not one to be particularly apt at calculations or even memorising numbers, but can I say that I think the smartest computer in the world is just abit arrogant and thus subject to folly. And I think that the meaning of life is NOT 42.
The problem with the smartest computer is that she doesn't believe in life. She is, after all, a computer. She has no life. How would she even be able to grasp the depth of life if she cannot understand it? It is one thing to know, another to understand. So she cannot understand that there lies a God-shaped hole in all of us [Plumb] and thus uses the default paradigm of life = coexistence of good and evil.
Putting Good and Evil into calculation:
Good = 7
Evil = 6
7 X 6 = 42 = Meaning of Life.
How did these numbers come about? Often associated with good and evil but dont know their origins? They come from Hebrew times in the Bible where numbers were often used to symbolise things. 7 = perfection/good / God (who is perfect), 6 =incompleteness/evil (e.g. devil is 666).
We who know life should know death. We know that there is more to life than just good and evil. There is also death, and what happens after it. The computer only knew life as it was on earth but not beyond it and she had no soul to think about.
I thus propose a new meaning of life, that brings God into the calculation:
God / good = 7
Complete / whole = 12
7 X 12 = 84 = New Meaning of Life = Absolut God.
12 was a symbol of wholeness or everything because it represented the 12 Tribes of Israel that was basically everyone or everything.
My new proposal implores that the entire meaning of existance is God. Everything. Absolutely.

Why?
1) Everything in nature points towards a God
2) God created us to be in relationship with Him, to serve and worship Him and for no other reason. Its because of our wickedness that we reject Him and our supposedly default way of life.
3) God provides meaning to the present life, and to life after death, and only He is able to give you that life.
Thus, The Meaning of Life = 12 X 7 = Absolut God.
