Atheists & Agnostics

I'm guessing your asking in something of a metaphysical sense, like there's 'a purpose to life' kind of thing?

Yeah, no, I didn't mean it like that.

I meant it scientifically. Physics, Chemistry, Natural Selection, like 1B years of primitive plant life that generated an O2-rich atmosphere for animals to develop in, a proximity to the Sun in the distance range that allows for water in all 3 of it's states to exist terrestrially, a rocky planet, a relatively large moon creating tides, a tilt of the planet that produces distinct seasons, one with a molten core producing a magnetic field the protects the planet from various forms of cosmic radiation, that has had few large scale collisions with other large celestial objects (only 2 huge ones since life developed in earnest), and has volcanic and tectonic activity, and an orbit that is not tidally-locked with our star ... do I need to go on, there's lots more?

Quite honestly ... I think there's at least some chance we're the most intelligent beings to have evolved in the entire universe. I wouldn't necessarily bet on it, but this planet, and we ... could actually be that special. At least for a long time, and within a radius the size of which our minds can't really contemplate.
