There is most definitely no grandeur, but only futility, in a view of life that says that we came about only by chance arrangement of molecules--not by design--and are all headed for the scrap-heap of history a few generations down the road.

"There is most definitely no grandeur..."

Sure there is.

"but only futility, in a view of life that says that we came about only by chance arrangement of molecules...."

Natural selection is not random. And where we come from isn't as important as where we are.

The futility is in the urge to blindly ignore the plain evidence of our senses. Reality truly is a harsh mistress.
