If man were merely a random product of evolution in some place on the margins of the universe, then his life would make no sense or might even be a chance of nature.This shows a profound misunderstanding of evolution, for it is never random. Evolution is the development, over time, of those traits and characteristics in a species that enable that species to survive, prosper, and propagate.
Some species never find the "sweet spot" and become extinct. Others find a niche and last for eons essentially unchanged. A third group continue to evolve into new species.
Into which of these three categories homo sapiens will fit is as yet unclear. If I had to bet, it would be on category three.
