Perhaps the ultimate philosophy question.

Why do humans exist ?

The answer given is to know and Love God, that was the purpose of creating humans.

But God doesn't need humans or does He ?
Yes, God does not need us, from what I have read, God wanted to be known, thus created humans with the capacity to know God. Yet that knowledge has a limit.

Actually a scientific question, the answer is environment and evolution.

Does God have emotions ? Why would God care about being known ?

Boring answers I prefer the religious answers instead.
I'm not religious so go with what is understood and not what is believed

I see God is above all attributes. I would think God is not emotional.
God is Love, so one can assume Love does contains all the emotions, but all we know of God is the Messengers, so in them we can see all the emotions contained in the Word of God.
I see that being known is inherent in the Message and it is to become our desire. In scriptures when God desires from us certain attributes such as Trustworthiness and Truthfulness, Love and Unity, that is a bounty for us in the scriptures.
This is a good meditation.
As was the will of God, so I ought to have thought;
As was the will of God, so I ought to have spoken;
As was the will of God, so I ought to have acted. – Pater 6

Nothing my eye, Something for sure
Because all that exists of humans could be and probably is fundamental to existence, and not some blanket explanation of emergence. It's not satisfactory to assume the qualities of humans is a gradual pop up from nothing of those qualities. It's definitely a philosophical question. I think most naturalists wish the question away, and most non naturalists see that the question is entirely interesting, and worthy.

How bloody rude. Maybe you should have worded your opening better or put it in a religious section.
Since this is in the philosophy section, I'll advance the argument that humans exist to suffer.
Miserably.
And then die.

And then die.
Well, then I'm certainly following my purpose in life.

I don't care for the lame naturalist answer.

I don't believe there's a "why". All of the "why" questions lead either to a person's own subjective conclusion or to nowhere at all.
