Well i'm too young to answer your questions but yes i agree with shantala,all religions have just the same destination point....the paths are different though...the different paths are different religions!!If u did read the religious books of any all religions,they all speak almost the same thing....they have the same goal,realising god......but different ways!!
I love your first question,every person in this world must have had this question in their mind atleast once.I believe the question itself is quite absurd!Why the question 'Why'??No answer can really satisfy you because the question comes from your curious mind and not from your soul.The soul is eternal and it is always the same whether it is in this world or in any other world......its happy,no questions....no reactions...its just there observing and just doing that....no judgements....only observing!The mind on the other hand follows the intertia principle......it needs sound reasons or answers to change from one state of mind to the other and so the Questions arise!!
So different answers can satisfy different minds but believe me this question again pops up cause there is no answer!!!
These are just my personal opinions gathered through experiences and by reading some books....i'm just 20,so lot to learn and experience!
We are all blessed by god,be it a human or an animal.....just changing roles!

hello naren,
this is shantala. i just saw your questions. what you said have an element of truth in them. for the first question iam still to find the answer why iam born in the world.
and your second question, as to what is the difference between animals and human beings, i would say just the functions one is designed to accomplish with one's machinery called the body. but what makes the machine run is just the same. great saints like Ramana Maharshi have even helped cows and monkeys get to the highest state of existence called 'samadhi'. if people think there is a differnece between these two, it is only because,as always people are given to apperences more than what is beneath it. may be that is again because to look at things in their depth requires a different and abstracted perception that is cut out from the mass and culture oreinted perception. say for example, even though you studied sceince, if you see the surface of the earth at this point it still seems flat. but you dont accept it today, though it seems blatantly so. the reason is because your mind has understood many more phenomena related to the surface of the earth and this entailed upon your mind to accept that the surface of the earth is spherical. sya for example the length of the shadow at different points on the earth during an eclipse.so too it is important for us to develop some altitude in our thinking in order to understand that at a deerper level there is no difference between animals and humans.
we do not need so many religions and castes. but as human beings who are so varied in our thoughts and beliefs, each of us has a need to express ourselves in our own way, each of us has a need to look at things with our own bends and inclinations of what we think is right and wrong and what we think is the truth. at the higest level of abstract thought we do not need these religions and castes. but till we reach there, it is through them that the human society organises itself. afterall we cannot assume that perfection is achieved by all humans at one point in time or that all the people in the world are at the same evolutionary points of progress.... the aim of all progress being perfection. to state an analogy, it is as if one reaches the summit of a mountain and questions oneself why all the rest are on the ground without breathing the fresh air and missing the excellent view you are enoying. so in short many of us are still on the ground, trying to work out ways of getting to the top of the mountain in our various ways. it need not be the same way as you have climbed up the mountain. it could be from another side of the mountain. but till everyone reahced the top, one will not realise that all the routes lead to the same goal. one person travelling from the northern side of the mountain always maintains that it is the only road to the peak while the other might maintain that travelling upsouth is the only route to the mountain top. that is the answer for your 4th and 5th questions.
but before i end this , let me tell you that there are no absolute solutions like you have for a mathematical equation. the search for truth and perfection in this world is like an equation which qulaifies the equality for any value that you sustitute for variables.the two most important variables being your own thinking and your ideas of perfection.
