It isn't that we do or don't belong here, but merely how evolution played out. If the meteor that killed off the dinosaurs had not hit, evolution could have easily taken a different path not involving our species.
We are an invasive destructive species. But we are also capable of great curiosity and compassion in problem solving.
We are not good at being cockroaches or penguins, but we are good at being humans. It is still up to humanity how we adapt.
The huge number of planets that we can't survive on is another indication that we weren't made for this place at all.
..............really?
Wouldn't that be more indicative of the fact that we weren't "made for" any of those other places, but were..... in fact, "made for" this one?

We can't even be monkeys or gorillas.We can live on earth without any of the things you mentioned (clothes, as a specific example), and did, for hundreds of thousands of years. Billions, counting all previous iterations.
Quote:The meteor that hit this place is in itself a heavenly sign to me: did God sent it on purpose so we grow instead of the dinosaurs?Yeah, yeah..but what isn't a heavenly sign to you, lol? Though, one has to wonder why the heavens fucked up with dinosaurs in the first place, and had to exterminate them. Maybe the earth was "made for" them, and we're the happy inheritors of a cosmic screwup? Hell, right now...it may actually be the planet of the birds or beetles. Or maybe it's the planet of the flowers..cleverly using us and so many other animals as a means to spread their genetics everywhere and dominate the landscape. They've been huge winners in the extinction lottery, since the death of the dinos specifically.
