right back to the Big Bang. We only think life is special because we ourselves are life which is circular reasoning
That sounds a touch nihilistic though. Is that the price for abandoning all circular reasoning? To lose all meaning in life? Life in and
of itself is not special? I mean I have even heard Richard Dawkins talk about how truly special life is and he is pretty militant against theism
You can give meaning to your own life of course but that does not make it any more special in the grand scheme of things. For how human beings
interpret their own existence is a matter for them and them only. Long after we have become extinct the Universe will carry on existing regardless
