Humanity Heart Earth

The meaning of humanity is ultimately tied into the making of the earth. All traditions, whether religious or secular, see a connection between humanity and all the other species on earth, ultimately connecting humanity to the earth and how it was made. This is one of the reasons that the evolution debate persists, because the philosophy of how we see humanity hangs in the balance. If humanity is a result of a series of random events, then humanity has no purpose, no meaning and all we do is of no import. If humanity was created based on principles of power, then humanity is about power. If humanity was created in the image of God, then humanity is purposed to act like God. This is all very heady and conceptual, but the fact is, we have little actual evidence to help us understand the purpose of humanity, so conceptual ideals is all we have.
