Philosophical implications of extinction

Of course we are. Here's the chance for those improbability huggers usually arguing against evolution, to argue their huge odds against something that really has these huge odds against it.The chance that humans just like us have evolved on another planet as well as on earth are 1 in a ... well, 'brazillion' I think is the word. Even if you could turn back the clock and rerun evolution on earth, the chance that humans would evolve again is infinitessimally small.

We are all atheists about most of the gods that humanity has ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further. - Richard Dawkins

bkelly,First of all, thank you for your kind words. I am flattered.As to the matter of who I am, I will say this: knowing my name wouldn't add anything to what you already know about me from reading my posts. Some here call me 'Pars' - although I prefer the name to be used in full- and I've also been called 'Seven' sometimes. Please, let it suffice that I go under the pseudonym of Parasomnium.Anyway, a name is not what I am. I am the words that I write, the style I use, and the thoughts that I post. That's how you can know me. By my mind, not by my name.
