What is the practical purpose of a human being? I would suggest it takes us into the room of the spiritual and away from technological advancement. Whether life exists on other planets or in other galaxies almost becomes irrelevant. It forces us to embrace humbly the miracle that is life here and now and Texas into the realm of the spiritual and begs the question is there a purpose beyond celebration of our own existence in life and do we have a purpose beyond the care and stewardship of this beautiful blue marble in space
