In terms of our existence within the universe, we are smaller than grains of sand on a beach.  Our existence affects no one besides the people directly near us, and the end of our existence would have the same result.

We breed nothing but destruction; as we seem to be the only species with the capibility of tearing apart something far bigger and greater than us.  The only thing we have the ability to benefit is one another, which only perpetuates the cycle of destruction.

If one person can explain to me why our existence is even in the least bit significant, I would love to hear ir.

Because there's a damn good chance we're going to end up destroying the planet and ending all life on this earth as we know it in the process.

I'd say that's pretty significant...

Well that depends, are you strictly science or can religion be integrated in this discussion?

plain and simply, our existence is not and will never have the chance to be significant.

"   There once was a man walking down a beach that was completely covered in starfish that had washed ashore. They were absolutely everywhere that the old man looked. As he walked along, he bent down and picked up one starfish at a time and deliberatley tossed it back into the sea.
    A young boy watched curiously as the old man continued tossing starfish one at a time into the sea. He approached the old man and asked him "What in the world are you doing? Why are you even bothering? You will never get them all back into the sea! There are so many it just doesn't even matter!"
    The old man looked at the young boy, bent down, and picked up another starfish. With purpose he showed the boy the starfish and said, "Young man, to this one starfish it matters!" And with that he flung the starfish back into the sea."

ants dude, theyre evil I swear. Watch Indiana jones. Maybe its not that extreme but I know there are breeds that are close to that.

We are the only things capable of asking the exact question you asked, btw.

I acknowledged that the only significant thing we are capable of is destruction.

I was looking for some indication that our existence is worth something besides that.
