People want to believe in an
egocentric universe, that is true. Science is about observation and analysis-
which separates man from his own perception. Our planet is in a unique position
in our universe which allows us to view a larger expanse of what exists than if
life had formed on a different planet.
We did not evolve because we were created as a superlative
species. We were formed because our cosmos wants to know why it exists.
Molecules and atoms which we are composed of are the same as those that compose
planets, stars, galaxies, and our unbelievable cosmos. This should impose an
overwhelming sense of insignificance, and meaningless to the life of a person.
We are not special. We were not created in the image of an
omnipotent creator. We are simply a result of an organism which wants to
understand. Therefore, we are a tool with a specific design which is beyond our
own comprehension and it is this that stimulates curiosity for discovery and
exploration.
People have not fate, no predetermined path. This
misconception is due to our narcissistic belief we are special. Should we
choose to ignore our responsibility to our cosmos and refuse to learn, catalog,
and understand we will be replaced by a life form which fulfills this capacity.
