ANNOTATION:
Rephrasing 'The meaning of life is to increase fitness'

Is it possible to rephrase that part to: The meaning of life is to ensure the continuance of the specie of that life ?

I believe that it isn't the 'specie of that life' that we are to ensure the continuance of, but rather the individual life. Of course, the individual life will eventually come to an end, but it will be resurrected into some sort of afterlife. The mind will have a next life, and the nature of this next life will depend on how well this individual's fitness was increased throughout his/her experiences in his/her last life.
