Question

What is humanity's place in the cosmos?

Answer 1

Humanity is capable of learning the cosmos.

Answer 2

To the universe, humanity, and even our entire galaxy, is nothing.

A finite value (e.g. humanity) divided by infinity (e.g. the universe)

equals zero.

Humanity is but one of an infinite number of random

physically-deterministic timespace sequences.

As humans, we can effect humanity, albeit in a physically

predetermined way. We have zero effect on the universe.

Right now we are a gnat on the back of a camel.  Only time will tell if we spread into the universe.

Bottom of the barrel.

Answer 12

To grow, to diversify, to connect, and to be part of the Whole where other beings, may it be sentient or non, inhabit our infinite universe. We are very small enough to think of our own world as being all there is but as you would gaze upon the stars, you would realize that maybe our world is not just what matters.

Answer 13

One of many of God's creatures?

Answer 14

humanity keeps cosmos moving and evoluting.

Answer 15

We will be the caretakers. We will have fits and starts but we will survive. We have effected the earth more than any other animal and if we have time we will effect the rest of the universe.

Don't shortchange the effect we have on existence as we know it.

But if the universe existed forever, then we will perish eventually however much we progress and leave no trace of our existence behind. My guess is that the universe will eventually collapse and take us with it.

Answer 16

We are very small when you take a entire universe into account, but every person can do their part to influence the thinking of large groups of people.  This is how people build and destroy societies.
