When you say "no meaning to life on Earth" you mean "other than exploring how our solar system and planets were created", right?
No meaning at all. Do you read or watch the news these days? It's all about how Man is fucking up the planet we live on, pollution, rain forest destruction, species being hunted in extinction, pollution of the sea, population explosion, etc. These things have a direct effect on peoples lives.

China will catch up, and they will take over. US population is 300 million while the population of China is 1.4 billion. Do the math.

Oddly enough no one says "I want to move to China". They all want to come to the United States.
Silly reply. China is over taking the US because it has so many Western companies making goods there. GDP is calculated in $ not head counts. Look it up.
