fear and trembling
There are nine planets in this solar system, who knows in this galaxy and an infinite number in this universe. Is this planet the only one that contains life? If the logic preceding this question was not good enough, let us delve deeper, considering current historical events. On November 20, 1969 there was camera gear recovered that had been left behind from the first moon landing. Upon the lenses of this gear, scientists discovered a bacteria growing, a bacteria growing in a non oxygen, zero gravity environment. We have witnessed what a simple bacteria can evolve into on this planet so know not to question the magnitude of this discovery. We have found rocks on the this planet from mars, that when carbon dated, predate man. Whats to say a bacteria from some other planet didn’t come here upon a meteorite and evolve to form us as we are now? To know where you are going, you must fully understand where you came from, thus to find our path, our meaning, our reason for existence, we have to fully appreciate that there is absolutely nothing mystical about your existence. Nature is full of wondrous beauties and one of which is evolution. We are part of the animal kingdom, mammals, at the top of the food chain, but not always, and perhaps not for long. Hmm.. Perhaps this will lead to despair afterall.
