Given those damn near infinite amount of other potential options out there, it's not too crazy an idea to believe that we. Just. Got. Lucky.

Unless, of course, you subscribe to the idea that we, out of all the other solar systems and universes, stars, and planets, are just the "special ones". The only jackasses chosen by god. If so, he made a dumb choice. Seriously. US? Have you fuckin' looked at yourself in the mirror? I have, and I'm retarded. I have a hard enough taking care of my dog.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could actually make decisions that effect the future with the thought that, y'know, that future is actually in our hands, and not in the hands of the Spaghetti Monster?

That's my half-cocked conjecture of the week.
