Now think how insignificant the role of human beings are, in terms of their overall impact, when it is clear that a few tweaks to the orbit of the moon can have devastating effects on our life, or how a rather small increase in average temperature levels can annihilate us (and other life forms on planet Earth). To be more concrete: we can understand human emotions at the level of interpersonal relations, but our findings do not make sense once we shift from that level to, say, the microbiology of the human body. Those that would posit that the human kind is a clear indication of the universe having some sort of purpose and that the specimen “human” is a clear step in a long process that must be leading somewhere.
