If man is the center of all things...

Then why were we given 13.7 billion lights years of room and 100 billion
galaxies with 100 billion stars each? And maybe an infinity of universes.
I don't see us getting to very much in the next few centuries or so.

If anything that item you are reading sounds like another attempt at
navel gazing which this society never seems to stop doing, especially
when it encounters an existence that isn't going quite the way it likes.

Just like with aliens - oh, they aren't contacting/invading us, they must
not exist because surely anyone who knows about human beings MUST
want to come and be with us. We're the cool kids at the popular lunch
table after all ... right?

The only thing we are the center of is our cultural egos. And even that
is badly fragmented.

Get back to me in a few billion years when we've done something really
major to warrant the central position.
