"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"

Have you seen apes going to the moon in space ships. What do you think who will survive the end of our solar system. Do you see a difference. You think cockroaches can do it. Do you see a difference in purpose between animals and humans. They humans can postpone life after our solar system is not habitable. That means nothing to you, because you are still an ape. you just see that DNA is almost the same. Look at the purpose of humans and apes. They have totally different purpose in this universe even thogh their DNA is almost the same.
