So you think we are just like 'animals'.... we get born, eat, drink, populate and die... with no higher purpose?

The fact that we are able to post in this forum is reason enough to separate us from other species, and provide de facto possibility that there is a higher purpose for our being here. We have been 'given' intelligence. Be it that our brains evolved to such enlightment or were created like that, based on your beliefs. No other species has accomplished such feat throughout the history of the world. Though most animals have 'adapted' considerably by look, and features.. none have adapted intellectually like we have. A monkey from 10.000 years ago is as smart as one today.

Without this, we might as well have been a planet of animals... barren, with none of the technologies that we have so far. We would have been like dogs. laying with kin. Fighting and biting each other for food, and killing each other.

We might as well be like them, if there was no purpose to life. Heck.. we would throw away all morals and guilt and just roam, having sex with our mothers, daughters, eat each other and hope to survive another day.
