Sometimes, would you not like confirmation that there is something greater than all of this?

This - humans existence?


Is there a greater meaning?


Should there not be?

Value wise, we are just like any other lifeform on Earth. But we are more intelligent and are now smart enough to question our own existence. It's no surprise that some people have found a way to "justify" our existence with grandiose stories of God creating us in his image and all that nonsense.

Face it, we're life that sprung up on big ball of dirt out in space. This probably happens all over the universe, but the distances involved are so great that we'll never get to meet them (an alien could be a plant or an bacterium)

If you'd like to read the massive bodies of literature on evolutionary processes and natural selection you'd understand that it isn't goal-oriented, which is what "grand design" suggests.

Yea but the religious crowd will always toss in the 'god works in mysterious ways' argument. . .
