OK then let's look at this another way, say that everything is true (the big bang theory, the universe expanding etc.). Do any of you think it is a good idea to try and find the reason for everything. I mean what if the reason is just to much for us to handle and the reason that we can't find the reason is that our brains and super computer's etc. just can't handle the reasoning to why everything is the way it is!

Ok, now by reason do you mean like a purpose? Cos IMHO, purpose is really perception, like how people who believe in God or the bible believe that he/she/it/they created everything with a purpose, the Earth was made with a purpose, and we were put on the earth with a purpose. Because we are an intelligent species we sometimes perceive that we are special and that we must have some kind of purpose for being to give some kind of meaning to our lives.
But do we really need to have meaning to our lives? It's kind of cynical to ask that kind of question, but you have to think about it. If you're an atheist then you don't believe in god, and really without god there is no "purpose" to life anymore, it just is. If life wasn't created by a higher entity, then how could it have meaning? Life just happens on its own, it grows on its own it evolves on its own, humans just happened on their own, so then that must mean life is happening everywhere in the vastness of the universe.
