What's so special about it? It replicates and can move around a bit more. So what? What's stopping this kind of stupid thing happening on its own?
Clearly nothing is stopping it, since it happened. It's rationalization after the fact to insist it couldn't have happened without some greater influence.
We're pattern spotters. It's how we evolved. So I do understand how people see design everywhere, even though there is no evidence of actual design. Also we want to feel special.
It's not fun. I personally hate it. It's so short, and it can end in so many gruesome ways.
But like a rainfall, that got mixed with the plants on earth; and when gardens shined and earth was decorated with beauty, came the end, leaving the ground dry as if it wasn't ever green.
It's shiny. But that kind of shining, that comes with a stomachache if you think about it; you stand in awe when you see the bright colors of the current moment, but you feel the pain knowing that moments in the future: it will all end.
We want to be special, that's why our ego is being broken every second through life. Even mosquitoes can kill us, even the prettiest human stinks every once and a while, and produces the worst smelling feces right from their own insides..
The repetition of life, like a recursive function, leads me to the exam theory: all of us are being examined, tested, we need to prove something, each is given a different exam paper, each has the universe in front of them to observe, each smell their own poo, each piss, each bleed, each love, each hate, each..
That kinda thing.
