However, I still stand by the evolution that led to us. Those are huge odds that innumerable species overcame to get to us. If any of our predecessors died out before we had a chance to evolve, that's it. All the way down to the bacteria from the beginning. They could have died out as well. I still find that absolutely mind blowing.
My undergraduate degree is in classical guitar performance, so I was also a music major.
I strongly suspect you are biasing your thinking with concepts of purpose, specific goals and special reference. Note the several references to "we" and "us" bolded above in your post. If you assume a certain end result of biological evolution, as if the purpose of it was to drive exclusively to "us", as if "we" were the sole goal of evolution and/or if you believe you are special, then you do not understand the biological theory of evolution, at least not completely.
