What doesn that prove ape.
I don't know what it "doesn prove." But I'm not trying to "prove ape."

Why are you bringing it up.
You were the one that asserted that men behave differently from atoms. A book my mother had me read about 30 years ago showed that there is evidence that, to the contrary, they don't.

Make an assertion from your observation.

Well, you did ask for it. No, you ordered it, but in this case I feel like cooperating.

My assertion is that you draw your conclusions from a misplaced belief that mankind holds a special place in the universe, and that the Universe cares at all what happens to us.
There is little objective reason to feel that man is much different from all the other life forms around him that we are related to, and we're equally subject to the forces around us, and the programming within us.
When the river floods, it drowns man and cockroach with equal disregard.
The theist must assume that somewhere, someone has a plan either for the protection of some of the carbon based life forms infesting this planet, or for some sort of reward system following their life, because the alternative is too frightening to them, that in the grand scheme of things, they matter no more than the cockroach.
When tasked with the various great die-outs of life on the planet, or life taking calamities like hurricane, volcano, plague, starvation, drought, flood, avalanche, or disco, the atheist shrugs and says, "Hey. Shit happens." while others, afraid of the dark, try to find patterns or purposes or meanings or some reason to hope in flagrant disregard of the evidence around them.
