Sagan said it in his "Pale Blue Dot" speech, and even Shakespeare though he didn't have any scientific way of knowing how right he was in MacBeth Act 5 scene 5 "flurry of activity signifying nothing". It is absurd to think in a 14 billion year old universe on a 4 billion year old planet, that humans are the center of the planet, much less the universe. In cosmic time, no, there is no meaning, but NOW does matter.
