For me, the reason human beings exist could be compared to the same reason mold grows on an old loaf of bread. If you put a piece of bread in the freezer it will freeze and there is no chance it will get moldy becuase it just too cold. Same thing goes for if a piece of bread is burnt in the toaster its just to hot and too harsh of an enviorment for it to get moldy. Yet, we all know what happens when a loaf of bread is kept for too long in room tempature, soon than later mold begins to grow, a living bacteria has found the right conditions and plenty of food to raise a family mold all over your bread. Now lets compare the loaves of bread to three planets, technicly two becuase one of the planets is pluto and thats not considered a planet any more, ha. Regardless lets compare the loaves of bread to Pluto, Mercury, and Earth. Pluto is much to far from the sun and is much too cold just like the piece of bread left in the freezer, its too cold for anything live. Mercury is the closest planet to the sun and is much too hot just like the piece of bread in the toaster, its too hot and dry for anything to live. Yet, low and behold the planet earth, out of pure chance, out of pure one in a billion, winning the lottery, lucky chance, the planet Earth landed in just the right distance from the sun, not to hot and not too cold, room tempature, just like the piece of bread left out on the counter mold grows, we humans being are that mold. We are merely mold, we are nothing more than realy old, smart mold that has been left on a counter in room tempature for more than four and a half billion years. It take a lil to take it all in and many people will thumb their nose and have no part of the mold theory, but this is not my opinion, this is the truth. Don't hide from facts, embrace them. It is a realy awesome thing when you think about it and it makes you relize just how insignificant humans realy are and what an opportunity we have.
