Maybe it is possible to write a program to find the point of our existences. It definitely will not be written in Visual Basic, but one could really argue the point that it can be done.
For instance, why does every thinking organism end up questioning the very same questions over and over again? "Why am I here?", "Whither am I going? ", "What is the purpose of my existence?", "Are there universal truths and untruths (moral absolutes)?", etc. Though greatly important, there are but a few important questions for us. And when you take everything that is common between people - family, friends, sex, religion, goals and spiritual satisfaction, you have a finite number of permutations and combinations that are possible out of which atleast one must be the combination that produces the answers or else the assumption that there is a point to our existence is nullified. And since our values of 'weightages' for each of these factors change based on the time period of consideration, this absolute combination must be sought over and over again.
Based on this logic, I think one (a spiritual guru such as Sai Baba, Muhammed, Mahaveer Bhagwan, Buddha or even Deepak Chopra) could prescribe a course of life that could achieve that universal true combination which they have been able to achieve themselves in their own time periods in a language that is understood by their peers.
By the way, I did notice that there was no sub-routine for pro-creation. I don't suppose you'd be interested in that now would you? :)
